Steven Katevatis

Steven Katevatis is an ever-inquisitive spirit who has a passion for seeking challenges, leading him to embark on a career in law with a specialization in corporate and commercial law practice. With 17 years of experience in the field, he has handled various aspects of legal and financial structuring, facilitated public registration for major clients, and implemented complex corporate schemes for international investment projects. In 2013, he had a short but successful engagement with the world of venture capital (VCs) and tech start-ups, which ignited a strong desire for more similar experiences. As a result, he redirected his focus to technology law, seeking opportunities to actively engage in venture capital schemes. This path led him to collaborate with Georgios Douzas, and together they founded Forth Tech VCFM. His past professional experiences encompass securitization and complex finance structuring, offering guidance to fintech companies during their licensing procedures, and negotiating intricate commercial contracts for international clients in shipping, banking, and technology law. His mission now is to leverage the lessons learned from his previous career to support young entrepreneurs with brilliant ideas in materializing their aspirations. He views this as the ultimate opportunity to empower and assist these entrepreneurs in adopting a growth mindset.

As an engineer, he gained over 10 years of practical exposure, working on demanding and acclaimed projects for established tech companies. Additionally, he became a member of the MagIC research and development center, where he conducted research in physics, mathematics, and artificial intelligence, resulting in the publication of articles in high-impact machine learning and high-energy physics journals. His passion for science and technological applications took on a whole new exciting form as a key executive of a State-funded Venture Capital Fund in Greece. In this new role, he is motivated to empower, change, and drive the Greek tech landscape forward from within. His goal is to create a fertile ground for disruptive thinkers and forward-thinking doers, fostering innovation and growth in the tech sector.
