Justin Stevens focuses on the full capital journey of a startup, not just the funding round, bringing Wall Street-style thinking around debt and non-dilutive financing into early-stage deeptech, and often works alongside lead investors rather than competing with them, while also pushing to build stronger, more organized connections between founders, investors, and government agencies. His interest tends to run toward physical, hands-on fields like advanced materials, space infrastructure, and biotech, and he puts effort into explaining these ideas simply through educational content for founders and newcomers.
About their Fund
Overlap Holdings is a venture capital fund founded by former Apollo Global Management Senior Partner Justin Stevens that focuses on frontier-tech companies at the intersection of scientific innovation and hardware, and rather than leading deals, it typically follows strong lead investors while adding non-dilutive financing support through its Capital Solutions arm (30+ years of structuring experience and 250+ lender relationships) and its Government Solutions arm, which offers a structured government-funding strategy led by former Pentagon industrial-base policy official Elizabeth Stockton. Its $33M first fund plans 30–35 mostly non-lead investments averaging about $700k each, backing capital-intensive companies like Impulse Space, Hadrian, Anthro Energy, Integrated Biosciences, Mendaera, Antora, Muon Space, and Starfish Space, based on the idea that frontier-tech companies need a financing strategy for their entire journey, not just capital for their next funding round.
