Neer Venture Partners

Neer Venture Partners is a $20 million pre-seed and seed stage venture capital fund founded in 2023 and based in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. The firm is the solo vehicle of Founder and Chief Investment Officer Brian Neer, who spent approximately 30 years on Wall Street — including 23 years at Morgan Stanley as Global Head of Derivatives and Structured Products — before pivoting to early-stage investing following a track record of roughly 70 angel investments. The fund targets a concentrated portfolio of 150 to 200 positions over its life, writing checks from $25,000 to $500,000 with a typical range of $100,000 to $500,000. The firm's core specialty is fintech, which it complements with B2B SaaS, proptech, insurtech, wealthtech, esports, gaming, direct-to-consumer applications, and sportstech. While geographically generalist, the fund may give preference to Florida-based businesses given Neer's local network. Portfolio companies have raised average seed rounds of $3.12 million and average Series A rounds of $9.9 million. Notable investments include Jeeves, a corporate cards and finance platform that reached unicorn status; Kredete, which raised a seed round in August 2024; Marco; Ruvo; Beycome; and Veritus Agent. The fund was active across 2025 with new investments continuing into 2026. Neer's deep derivatives and structured-products background informs a rigorous analytical approach to assessing fintech and financial-services startups, with particular attention to unit economics, regulatory architecture, and the capital structures that will govern a company's growth trajectory. The fund's broad mandate within fintech and adjacent sectors allows it to deploy across the full range of financial-technology innovation.
