Naples Technology Ventures

Naples Technology Ventures (NTV) is a Naples, Florida-based early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2018 by co-founders and Managing Partners Brij Sharma and Mike Abbaei. Sharma brings more than 25 years of entrepreneurial and investor experience spanning the US, India, and the GCC region, and the firm is rounded out by Chief Investment Officer Neeraj Vohra. NTV selectively backs early-stage B2B SaaS companies in fintech, insurtech, healthtech, and regtech — sectors characterised by dated legacy infrastructure and manual processes that are ripe for transformation through AI, machine learning, blockchain, IoT, and robotics. NTV's investment thesis emphasises stability, profitable growth, and sustainable value creation rather than blitzscale. The firm has closed one fund (NTV Fund I, which invested in 12 companies) and is actively raising the NTV Frontier Fund, which has surpassed $30 million en route to a $50 million close. Across 44 total investments, NTV has built a portfolio of 31 active companies. Representative names include Acium, a multi-browser security platform; Agrisource Data, an AI-driven data integration tool for agriculture; AllDigital Specialty, an insurtech platform using blockchain and AI; Zenapse, which raised an $8 million seed round in March 2024 alongside BaseCamp Ventures; and Iris, which raised a $3 million seed in February 2025 with Florida Funders. A notable exit is Lucy, acquired by Capacity in October 2024. NTV's philosophy centres on backing companies that achieve optimization and efficiency in large industries, providing founders with capital alongside strategic guidance on product, go-to-market, and operations. The firm's Florida base, paired with its global network, positions NTV as an active supporter of founders outside traditional venture hubs.
