Investment Thesis

Neer Venture Partners applies deep Wall Street financial expertise to early-stage investing, with founder Brian Neer bringing 30+ years of experience in credit, derivatives, and deal structuring from Morgan Stanley. The fund targets companies with strong fundamentals: full-time founding teams (including CTOs for tech companies), demonstrated product-market fit through growing revenue, and access to large potential markets. They take a disciplined approach with post-money valuations capped at $50 million.
