Candy Ventures

Candy Ventures functions as a multi-stage investment firm, backing entrepreneurs who build transformative products. It allocates capital across diverse sectors, including fintech, deep tech, augmented reality, digital media, consumer, sports, biotech, and infrastructure. The firm actively supports its portfolio companies with strategic guidance and growth acceleration to foster global expansion.

The firm's inception traces to 2015 when British entrepreneur Nick Candy, known for his luxury real estate background and co-founding Candy & Candy, first invested. Concurrently, he formed Candy Capital, his family office, to manage his broader business interests. Steven Smith, a seasoned financial professional and former CFO with qualifications as a Chartered Accountant and Tax Adviser, directs Candy Ventures from Luxembourg, having advised Nick Candy for two decades.

Candy Ventures partners with founders focused on strong execution and global scaling ambitions. Investing in compelling ideas, the firm collaborates closely with these entrepreneurs. Its vision involves leveraging operational expertise and an extensive network to help founders deliver ambitious plans and achieve significant international impact with their innovative ventures.
