Nexus Venture Partners Launches $700M Fund to Back AI Innovation and India’s Expanding Digital Economy

Nexus Venture Partners has announced a $700 million fund that will invest across two core pillars: next-generation AI startups and fast-growing India-focused companies in consumer, fintech, logistics, and digital infrastructure. The firm says its strategy is designed to participate in AI’s accelerating global impact while maintaining balance across a diverse market with rising technology adoption.

Headquartered in Delaware with investment teams in Menlo Park, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, Nexus has operated a unified U.S.–India model since its founding in 2006. The new fund will target early-stage investments from inception to Series A, continuing support for companies building developer tools, infrastructure, and intelligent applications. U.S. portfolio highlights include Postman, Apollo, MinIO, Giga, and Firecrawl, while India investments span well-known brands such as Zepto, Delhivery, Rapido, Infra.Market, and Turtlemint.

Nexus manages $3.2 billion in assets with more than 130 investments and 30+ exits, including multiple IPOs. The firm says maintaining the same fund size as its previous vehicle supports disciplined deployment as demand grows for localized AI solutions, sovereign data capabilities, and software built for India’s multilingual population and expanding digital infrastructure.
