Astarte Capital Partners

What they do

Founded in 2015 by Dr. Stavros Siokos and Teresa Farmaki, Astarte Capital Partners operates an innovative "GP Stakes" and co-investment model. Rather than investing directly in traditional startups, Astarte acts as an anchor investor and strategic partner to emerging fund managers and experienced real-asset operating teams. They provide the seed capital, working capital, and fund-structuring expertise required to institutionalize these operators into specialized investment platforms. Astarte is highly regarded for its proprietary ESG framework and its ability to bridge the gap between global institutional capital and niche, mid-market real asset opportunities across Europe, North America, and Latin America.

What they look for

Astarte’s mandate is to provide institutional investors with access to specialist real asset strategies that are supported by long-term macroeconomic megatrends, specifically climate change mitigation, demographic shifts, resource scarcity, and technology evolution. They look for highly experienced asset operators and emerging management teams with proven track records in niche real asset classes (e.g., forestry, regenerative agriculture, urban regeneration, energy transition). They seek partners who need institutional capital, structuring, and operational support to scale into category leaders.
