The people behind our funds

NAP is backed by 250+ investors – almost all of them entrepreneurs, operators, and industry leaders who actively support our portfolio companies. This isn’t a passive LP base. It’s a network we built deliberately, and it’s one of the most tangible things we offer to founders.

What this means in practice

Our investors include founders who’ve built and scaled companies across enterprise software, manufacturing, energy, logistics, and financial services. They include Mittelstand executives and family offices with deep roots in European industry. And they include corporate leaders who can open doors that cold outreach never will.

When a founder building shop floor automation needs a meeting with a VP of Operations at a German manufacturer, we can often make that happen through a direct personal connection. Our LPs are operators in the industries our companies sell into.

And when our companies raise their next round, we try to help with preparation, positioning, and introductions to the right investors. Our portfolio companies have gone on to raise from firms like Accel, Balderton, Benchmark, Index, Insight or Sequoia. More on that in co-investors.md.

How we’re structured

We deliberately chose entrepreneurial individuals, family offices, Mittelstand and corporate investors as our LP base. This means our investors have skin in the game, move fast when needed, and genuinely care about the companies they help.
