Nexus Venture Partners backs extraordinary founders at seed and Series A, helping them build product-first companies that redefine their categories. The firm takes a high-conviction approach, serving as inception, seed, or Series A stage partner to founders and actively engaging with them throughout the company lifecycle. Founded in 2006 and managing $3.2 billion across funds, Nexus focuses on two primary investment areas: transformative AI and enterprise software companies in the US, and digital-native businesses — including fintech, consumer technology, and infrastructure — in India. The firm was built by successful enterprise-technology entrepreneurs rather than traditional finance professionals, and specializes in being the first institutional investor in product-led, developer-first, and open-source companies.
Notable quotes
“We understand open source, we understand developers as customers, the AI infrastructure and applications stack. We have evolved from backing India-based startups to investing in US-based software and AI startups. So we will play on the front foot in the US in some of the domains we understand well.”
“We're not just investors — we're partners, diving in from day one and staying involved across the company lifecycle.”
