Pre-seed venture capital, worldwide.
Nexus writes the first institutional cheque — the one that comes before the market has agreed the company should exist.
Talk to us How we investApproach
We underwrite the team before the market exists.
Pre-seed is not a smaller version of seed. There is no traction to extrapolate, no comparable to price against, and usually no product. What there is, is a founding team and a claim about the world.
Nexus exists to evaluate that claim early and act on it — a Delaware limited partnership investing globally, without a geographic mandate that would rule out the right founder for the wrong reason.
The name is the thesis. Nexus is Latin for a binding together: the point at which two things connect. The fund is the connection between capital and a company that does not yet have any.
How we work
Four commitments.
Pre-seed founders are asked to take a great deal on faith. These are the things they should be able to hold us to.
Conviction, not consensus
We do not wait for another fund to lead. If we believe the thesis, we say so and we price it.
A fast, honest answer
A clear no early is worth more to a founder than a maybe held for a quarter. We give our answer and our reasoning.
Terms a founder can read
Clean, conventional instruments. No structure that only reveals its cost at the next round.
Useful between rounds
The work that matters happens in the eighteen months nobody writes about. That is when we are reachable.
