About
Activate Venture Partners backs seed and early-stage, capital-efficient companies building essential infrastructure across healthcare, clinical research, insurance, data, aviation, manufacturing, and financial services. Formed in 2017 by combining Glen Bressner's decades-long track record with Todd Pietri's (co-founder of the earlier Milestone Venture Partners), the firm typically leads a company's first institutional equity financing. It looks for visionary, domain-expert founders addressing markets at an inflection point, investing 'before the path is obvious.'
