Nexus Venture Partners

We are proud to lead the $15M Seed round in Multifactor (YC F25). The premise is simple yet profound: AI agents and the people who use them cannot safely collaborate with yesterday’s identity and security tools. Multifactor is changing the paradigm. By moving away from exposed credentials to mathematically provable guarantees, they are making online accounts fundamentally safe for the age of AI agents. Congratulations to the Multifactor team!

We're proud to be leading $15M seed round into Multifactor (YC F25), to make online accounts fundamentally safe for the age of AI agents. Securely connecting our accounts to AI tools, while keeping users in control, is the need of the hour. As AI agents become part of how we collaborate, the need for mathematically provable identity foundations has never been clearer. Multifactor is building exactly that - a secure way for humans and AI to share access without exposing credentials. Vivek Nair and Colin Roberts - Thanks for picking us as your partner! Excited to be on this journey with you along with an incredible group of supporters and advisors including Padmasree Warrior, Gokul Rajaram, Mathilde Collin, Auren Hoffman 📚, Y Combinator, Nicolas Dessaigne, Liquid 2 Ventures, Ritual Capital, Pioneer Fund, and more! As Vivek mentions in his post: Identity should be our strongest defense, not our biggest vulnerability. Onward! Nexus Venture Partners #AI #Security #Identity

We are excited to partner with Charlene Wang and Warren Wang, and lead the $4.3M Seed round in Ember! Healthcare denials are crippling - doctors burn out on paperwork, and hospitals lose revenue to technicalities buried in shifting payer policies. Ember’s AI engine is built to navigate the complex requirements of thousands of payers, empowering health systems to stop fighting for approvals and start securing them. Abhishek Sharma

What a session at Harvard Business School! It's an annual ritual for our Managing Director, Abhishek Sharma (HBS '15) and Amrut Rajkarne (HBS '24) to be back on campus. This year, Abhishek shared the Nexus Venture Partners' playbook for backing and helping build breakout AI companies—from frontier themes to early-stage evaluation. The HBS campus continues to be an incredible "founder source," and the energy from students is unmatched. Our office hours with student founders (both ideating and building) were a highlight. Huge thanks to the HBS community for hosting us! Shreyas Kadaba (HBS ‘26)

Introducing Firecrawl v2.5 - the world's best Web Data API 🏆 We now have the highest quality and most comprehensive Web Data API powered by our new Semantic Index and custom browser stack. See the benchmarks and technical deep dive below 👇 For maximum data quality, we built our own custom browser stack. We automatically detect how each page is rendered allowing us to extract data at high speeds while maintaining the same quality bar. Our browser fleet converts everything (PDFs, paginated tables, whatever) into clean, agent-ready formats. This allows us to index complete pages, not partial, which is why our quality the highest compared to competitors. We've also been building a semantic index for better coverage and speed. Our index already serves 40% of all API calls, enabling us to provide top-of-the-line data fast across most websites. It contains previously captured full page snapshots + embeddings + structural metadata. Users can request data “as of now” or “as of last known good copy” enabling them to have access to any (previous or current) state of the web at any moment. We're hard at work building the new programmatic layer for the internet, restructuring the web for AI. Apply on our website if you want to join us on this journey. Also stay tuned, we're open sourcing our benchmarks soon!
