Nexa Equity LLC, a San Francisco, CA-based newly formed private equity firm, official launched.
Founded by Managing Partner Vlad Besprozvany, a former investor at Insight Partners and Managing Director at Greater Sum Ventures, Nexa Equity focuses on scaling lower middle market software and fintech businesses that address markets underserved by technology.
The firm will target founder-led software and fintech companies with revenues ranging from $5 million to $20 million in the application software, healthcare IT, and electronic payments enablement sectors, among others.
