Fund II brings Nexa Equity’s AUM to over $1 billion, fueling Nexa’s mission to scale category-defining companies through concentrated investments and hands-on partnership.
SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nexa Equity, a San Francisco-based private equity firm that partners with high-growth vertical SaaS companies to help scale them into market leaders, today announced the closing of Nexa Equity Fund II (“Fund II”) with over $390 million in commitments. The oversubscribed fund reached its hard cap in six months, bringing Nexa’s total assets under management to more than $1 billion.
The raise drew strong participation from both new and existing institutional partners, reflecting deep alignment with Nexa’s focused investment strategy and hands-on approach to creating value. Nexa is honored to have the trust and backing of an exceptional group of limited partners – including pension funds, university endowments, insurance companies, fund-of-funds, family offices, foundations, and investment consultants. Nexa believes this breadth of support reflects a shared confidence in Nexa’s collaborative, sector-focused approach and continued commitment to supporting SaaS founders in ways beyond providing capital.
With Fund II, Nexa intends to continue investing in a select group of vertical SaaS companies committed to solving real-world problems—businesses with the potential to scale rapidly and lead their categories. Backed by a team of 18 experienced investors and operators, Nexa partners closely with founders to accelerate growth through operational excellence, scalable go-to-market execution and strategic M&A.
“We are honored by the support of our investors and energized every day by the founders who trust us to help bring their visions to life,” said Vlad Besprozvany, Founder and Managing Partner of Nexa Equity. “We are excited to keep building enduring, industry-shaping businesses together with our founders, limited partners, and the broader community.”
Nexa’s success stems from close alignment with company founders who deeply understand their industries, often creating software to address challenges they personally experienced.
“Nexa kept diving deeper to understand my world,” said Dean Dorcas, Founder and CEO of Easy Metrics, a company in the Nexa portfolio. “That commitment made them the right partner.”
Patrick Fingles, Founder and CEO of Leap, another Nexa portfolio company, added, “Nexa helped me think critically about building the right leadership team from day one. Their perspective was unique and incredibly valuable.”
Since its founding in 2021, Nexa scaled quickly by cultivating a culture defined by partnership, accountability, scrappiness, and transparency. The firm’s growing team includes ten investment professionals and six operating partners united by a mission to support the next generation of category-defining vertical SaaS companies.
M2O Private Fund Advisors served as the exclusive placement agent to Nexa Equity. Kirkland & Ellis LLP served as legal counsel.
