Next World Capital invests internationally in expansion-stage companies with the potential for global leadership. NWC has $200 million of fund assets under management and is also part of the much larger evergreen capital pool of the global investment firm Next World Group. NWC brings strategic insight, an exceptional, longstanding European network and deep capital resources to help its portfolio companies.
NWC invests in companies transforming the world through the enterprise software, mobile and consumer internet sectors. NWC takes a strategic, research-intensive approach to analyze dynamic enterprise and consumer opportunities and which companies are leading the positive disruption.
Investment Focus
NWC makes venture capital investments in rapidly-growing companies with sustainable competitive advantages and stellar teams. We target companies with revenue run-rates generally between $5-100 million or otherwise building significant user adoption, and typically invest $10-30 million over the life of the company. NWC typically leads the financing rounds in which it participates, holds a seat on the Board of Directors, and works closely with management to add value. Investments are made primarily in the US and EU, where our operations, network and experience can provide the greatest insight and impact.
European and U.S. Market Prowess
NWC has professionals, connections and resources in both the US and Europe. The firm has a deep European network because of our longstanding European heritage and a European team dedicated to helping our portfolio companies leverage the powerful reach of the NWC network. In addition, NWC is able to help European companies expanding into the US through our presence in the heart of Silicon Valley.
Capital Advantages
NWC invests out of a $200 million fund capital base and also taps into the much larger evergreen capital base of the global investment firm Next World Group. This gives us two strong advantages. First, we can be flexible on the amount of capital we invest in our initial investment, and align ourselves with the best interests of the company and its existing investors. Second, our depth of capital resources allows us to serve as a stable part of a company's capital base, with the capacity to invest a significant amount over time as company needs progress for growth or acquisitions, unconstrained by specific caps. As the investor landscape has become more uncertain, we work with our companies and co-investors as a flexible and strong partner over the long term.
Long-Term Perspective
We know that building market-defining leadership companies requires a long-term view to value creation. With deep and flexible capital resources, NWC has a sustainable capital base from which to invest. Unlike most funds, we have no fundraising requirements, no re-investment constraint between fund vintages, and no imposed timing to liquidate assets. This allows us to continue supporting well-performing companies, invest further in growth opportunities, and work with management and other Directors to make decisions based solidly on long-term value creation.
If you believe your company fits this criteria and is ready to define the next world, we encourage you to contact us at businessplan@nextworldcap.com.
"We were so pleased to partner with Next World Capital. It was evident from the initial meeting that the NWC team had taken the time to really understand our space and the opportunities in it. They immediately applied this knowledge to help us once they became an investor. Also, their strong European roots provides us access to great contacts in Europe as we expand internationally. I look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationships with NWC."
