A22 Capital
Astra22 S.R.L. invests in early AI startups — then builds alongside the founders, the same way we build our own companies.
[ Talk to us ]The thesis
Most investors write a cheque and wait for the update call. We write code.
Astra22 runs its own portfolio — Distro, Axceleat's Sammy, Neat, Membrs — with one operator and a team of AI agents, not a floor of associates. That operating discipline is the product. When we back a company, that's what shows up: not a board seat, a working system.
Fit
How it starts
Step 1
Thirty minutes on what you're building and why it needs to exist. No deck required.
Step 2
Before any money moves, we sit inside the problem alongside you — same agents, same stack we run our own ventures on.
Step 3
Investment sized to the round, not to a fund mandate we need to deploy.
Step 4
Access to what Astra22 already runs — growth playbooks, vertical AI operating experience, whatever's actually useful to you.
Before you write
What this isn't.
No relocating for a cohort. We come to the problem.
We're not investing in you before you have a product. Build the first version, then talk to us.
We invest what makes sense for the company, not what a fund cycle requires us to place.
We're useful or we're not. That's the only leverage we want.
Proof
Seven ventures, one operator, AI agents doing work traditionally done by a team.
