About Us
Nexus Investment Ventures Limited (NIVL) was founded in 2014 to focus on high-growth entrepreneur-led UK EIS investments following successful investments made by Nexus group over the past 27 years. NIVL take a nurturing approach through active involvement on the board, or advisory board of the company and through the introduction of appropriately experienced investors to help guide these businesses as they scale in the UK, and often globally.
Since inception, led by Matthew O’Kane, NIVL has raised/invested capital in the portfolio companies. Each of these companies has qualified relevant investors for SEIS and/or EIS relief. Nearly all of these businesses have grown valuations substantively, and/or revenues materially with our input since 2014. Many going onto attract significant international investment at subsequent Series A or Series B rounds.
Our core sectors are Data, Education, Health & Digital. Our favoured company types are platform based technology companies and healthy food and drink brands. Our favoured founders are mission-driven, ambitious, but with deep ability and experience, whether professionally, academically or entrepreneurially. We focus on post-Seed, pre-Series B opportunities.
