Its largest themes are AI & Machine Learning (26%), Enterprise Software (17%) and Fintech (13%). 89% of its companies are based in United States.

Counts come from funding rounds that name Stage 2 Capital, complete from mid-2025: earlier rounds appear only when they were reported later. Round amounts and full round histories are on Fundup AI.

Round figures show recent activity, not Stage 2 Capital's whole history. Rounds on record name 12 companies; its own site lists 103. Funding rounds are complete from mid-2025, so counts and the yearly trend undercount a firm that invested before then. The portfolio, themes and places come from its own site and are not affected.

Rates come from what VCinfo has observed since observation_start. Firms tend to remove companies that closed, so early rates understate reality. A company leaving a portfolio page does not mean it closed or exited. An unreachable site means our checks failed, nothing more.
