Allocate to Next Wave Partners
Traditional venture capital is broken. Ten-year funds don’t fit 14+ year exits. The 2-and-20 model extracts fees while LPs wait for illiquid markup. It is time for a new venture asset class.
Next Wave Partners is not an investment fund — we are an Investment Company.
Our Alternative
Next Wave Partners is a venture studio with permanent capital. Instead of chasing paper unicorns, we build durable companies and create real liquidity for investors through revenue participation.
- Revenue-Aligned Returns: Our Safer instrument (Simple Agreement for Future Equity with Repurchase) combines equity exposure with quarterly revenue repurchase rights .
- No 10-Year Deadlines: We are not a fund. Our studio model allows us to hold positions indefinitely and recycle returns into new ventures.
- Operational Leverage: We embed operator teams inside companies, accelerating profitability and reducing failure rates by 40–60% .
Why It Matters
- Predictable Liquidity: Returns begin in 12–24 months via revenue share, not after a decade-long wait .
- Cleaner Governance: One investor, one aligned cap table.
- Diversified Access: Exposure to a portfolio of companies designed for sustainability, not just speculative exits.
Why Invest in NWP
- No More 2 and 20: We replace the fee-driven model with a performance-driven compensation approach. Our success is tied to realized business performance, not asset gathering or management fees.
- Faster Liquidity: Our Safer instruments generate returns from revenue streams and repurchase payments — we don’t wait a decade for an exit.
- Transparent Reporting: Institutional-grade research and real-time reporting provide complete visibility into venture activity, returns, and company progress.
- Research + Tools Access: Investors gain proprietary frameworks, online tools, and exclusive market intelligence to inform decision-making.
- Cluster Participation with Direct Access: We organize our efforts into focused venture clusters aligned with our Investment Philosophy — Intelligent Infrastructure, Climate & Resource Innovation, Deep Technology & Spatial Computing, and Capital Architecture Innovation.
- As an NWP investor, you benefit from the growth of these clusters.
- You also have discretionary direct access to participate in select opportunities within cluster companies, alongside NWP, when you choose to.
