Frequently asked questions

Who runs investment decisions at Nexit Ventures?

Day-to-day investment decisions sit with the partnership, led operationally by Artturi Tarjanne in Europe and Michel Wendell in the United States. The firm lists both as the contact points for media and external relations, and its written materials consistently frame the two as the senior operators. No additional named partners or investment committee members are disclosed on the current website.

What investment stages does Nexit Ventures typically target?

The firm’s current stated focus is on growth-stage and late-stage B2B companies, though its strategy history spans early-stage, seed, and expansion phases as well. Under the Activist VC philosophy, Nexit concentrates on a small number of companies where it can deploy board-level operational intervention — a posture that naturally favors later-stage businesses with existing revenue and organizational complexity rather than pre-revenue startups.

How is Nexit Ventures related to 3TS Capital Partners?

Nexit collaborated with 3TS Capital Partners on the Nexit III fund generation, structuring a €21.6 million Nexit vehicle that formed part of a larger €110.8 million joint operation. This placed 3TS in a co-manager role for a portion of the third fund, effectively extending Nexit's investment footprint into Central Europe through a shared vehicle while leaving each manager independent in its own fund families.
