Big Pi Ventures Launches Big Pi Growth I to Fuel Tech Growth Across Southeast Europe

Big Pi Ventures, a multi-stage technology investment platform, led by Nick Kalliagkopoulos, Panos Metsis, Marco Veremis, Alex Eleftheriadis, Guy Krief, and others, has launched Big Pi Growth I, the first tech growth equity fund out of Greece and Southeast Europe. The fund completed its first closing at €130 million in June and has already made its first investment and targets a €200 million final closing.

Big Pi Growth I, managed by Big Pi Ventures, the largest multi-stage tech investment platform in Southeast Europe with c.€250 million AUM, supports high-growth tech businesses across early and late-stage lifecycles. The fund’s mission is to supercharge European tech scale-ups, bridging the critical gap between early-stage funding and later-stage growth, buyout, or IPO, addressing a key constraint to Europe’s global competitiveness.

The fund will deploy €7–20+ million per company as lead investor, combining capital with operational and financial expertise to accelerate growth organically and via M&A. Big Pi Growth supports single-market or regional leaders in expanding internationally and helps standout global businesses optimize operations from hubs in Greece and Southeast Europe. Leveraging a team with deep international experience in investing, business building, IPOs, finance, and operations across London, Paris, and the US, the fund backs high-potential founders at every stage.

The strategy is supported by a strong position in a region with skilled tech talent, supportive incentives, and a connected global diaspora. It is further strengthened by a broad investor base, including leading organizations, banks, corporates, industrialists, and tech founders. The Hellenic Development Bank of Investments joins as a cornerstone investor through the “Greece 2.0” RRF program.
