Steven R. Sarracino is the Founder and Partner of Activant Capital Group, a Greenwich, CT-based venture and growth equity firm he established in 2012 to focus on scaling disruptive technology companies. His investment thesis targets growth-stage businesses in disruptive commerce technology and data-heavy B2B platforms, with a concentrated focus on e-commerce infrastructure and payments. Typical investment checks range from $25 million to $65 million, though the firm occasionally writes smaller $3–$4 million follow-on checks into early-stage startups it wishes to track. Sarracino has served as a board member or lead partner for notable portfolio companies including Better.com, Finix, Bolt Financial, and Celect (which was acquired by Nike). He operates under the distinctive philosophy that “We don’t invest in the pail and shovel. We invest in the sandbox,” emphasizing bets on foundational infrastructure rather than end-user applications. With over $1.5 billion in assets under management and a 15-year investing horizon, he has personally invested more than $2 billion of equity across technology companies throughout his career.
