Giuseppe Stuto: 186 Ventures' Pre-Seed & Seed Investor in Tech Startups

🚀 This episode is brought to you by LG NOVA. 🚀 Giuseppe Stuto is the CO-Founder and Managing Partner of 186 Ventures. Giuseppe built his first software company, Fam, where he was the founder and CEO shortly after he graduated college. Fam built one of the largest group video communities ever by scaling to more than seven million users in about a year. Fam was acquired by DraftKings in 2018, and Giuseppe stayed on to serve in product & strategy roles leading up to the company’s successful IPO. After his tenure at DraftKings, Giuseppe joined one of his early angel investments in the neural interface space, Pison Technology, as COO to help triple the company’s staff and provide guidance on its rapid revenue expansion. In 2021, after making over 30 angel investments into early stage technology companies alongside his good friend, Julian Fialkow, Giuseppe helped institutionalize 186 Ventures and raised its first $37M early stage venture capital fund. 186 Ventures brings full operational and strategic support and an unparalleled network to founders when they need it most—at the beginning of their startup journey.
