Venture Capital Firm Expands Leadership Team to Provide More
than Capital to Founders in Emerging Markets
NAIROBI,
Kenya, June 27, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Beyond
Capital Ventures (BCV), a preeminent emerging markets venture fund,
is proud to announce Nicholas Java as a new Partner. Joining
current Managing Partner Eva Yazhari, Nicholas will help lead the
firm's due diligence, and portfolio management.
Nicholas has been an integral part of the Beyond Capital
investment team for over a dozen years and brings a wealth of
experience and expertise in identifying, selecting, and advising
early-stage companies in India and
East Africa. He works closely with
several of BCV's portfolio companies, including Lal10, Frontier
Markets, and FreshR in India, and
Zanifu and Cinch in East Africa.
Nicholas began at Beyond Capital as an Investment Fellow and most
recently served as a Venture Partner. While a Venture Partner at
BCV, Nicholas also served as a Director at Tyton Partners, a
leading provider of investment banking and strategy consulting
services to the education sector. He holds an MBA from Columbia Business School, an MIA from Columbia University's School of International & Public
Affairs, and a BA from Johns Hopkins
University. Nicholas is a U.S. Army veteran.
"I'm excited to be appointed as Partner at BCV," said Nicholas.
"I have a long-time professional and personal relationship with Eva
and firmly believe that Beyond Capital is a best-in-class emerging
market venture capital fund. Our investment strategy is backed by
demographic tailwinds, economic liberalization, and technological
innovation in India and
East Africa. Younger, growing
populations, policy reforms, and the emergence of private markets
over the last two to three decades has brought economic vitality to
these regions. Moreover, our multi-asset approach of equity and
debt helps investors navigate these regions with agility. I look
forward to continuing to leverage my market knowledge and extensive
network, working closely with our portfolio companies, Limited
Partners, and regional teams in India and East
Africa, as well as further amplifying BCV's commitment to
generating superior financial returns while achieving scalable and
sustainable social and environmental benefits."
Eva, Managing Partner at BCV, remarked, "Nicholas's appointment
to Partner is a testament to the remarkable growth and progress we
have achieved as a firm. His extensive experience with the BCV
investment process, pipeline, and portfolio undoubtedly enhances
our capabilities."
Nicholas' appointment to Partner follows the launch of multiple
new products, including the first close of the Beyond Capital
Ventures Debt Opportunities Fund. BCV continues its work of
sourcing and scaling early-stage companies unlocking opportunities
for one billion consumers across India and Africa.
