We source projects at a very early stage, sometimes at the ideation phase. We look for the game-changers, the founders who have identified an evident need and who are building a cost-effective and straight forward solution to fix it.

In our portfolio, we invest in doers but if they need help and A-team in their execution, we will do so and will build this venture together.

We work with foreigners who are growing in China, South East Asia and with locals looking for bridges with markets and industries we know well in Asia and Europe.

Our work is to structure their operation, optimize their business model and lead them to the next steps with strategic partners and financial investors. We get them pitch-ready.

Over the course of 10+ years in China, we have helped build a dozen businesses and also founded a few.

To date, NextStep Studio has helped to raise over $5 Mio USD of funding on publicly disclosed and undisclosed deals, we brought several strategic partners to projects and manages an elite portfolio of projects in the Tech, Entertainment, F&B, and FoodTech industries, and worked on projects who raised over $15 Mio USD.

In order to succeed with those projects we believe in, they will likely need financial support, advisors, experts, partners, market access, and a few more clients.

Due to the different industries and maturity of some projects we are looking for Business Angels, Early Stage VC and PE and corporates from certain industries.
