§ Investor briefNexus OS · Public source-available edition

Find the expert already inside the portfolio.

Nexus is built for PE portfolio-ops leads who lose time turning institutional memory into useful introductions. The source-available proof shows how a trusted network surfaces a non-obvious expert, collects consent, and keeps the introduction accountable.

No local installation is required for the investor walkthrough. The source-available project remains inspectable with synthetic, seeded data.

Every image comes from implemented Nexus UI using synthetic seeded records. Labels distinguish runnable proof from implemented behavior.

  1. 01

    A need arises

    A PE portfolio-ops lead names the expertise or connection the network cannot surface efficiently.

  2. 02

    A non-obvious expert is found

    Nexus surfaces a relevant seeded member from inside the trusted network and explains the capability overlap.

  3. 03

    Mutual consent

    Both people review the proposal; either can approve, reject, or defer it.

  4. 04

    A tracked record

    Only an approved path becomes an introduction, recorded and visible inside the network.

02The problem

The right expert for a portfolio problem is usually already inside the portfolio — and nobody can find them.

A PE portfolio-ops lead needs a turnaround operator, a sector advisor, or a buyer for an asset. Across dozens of portfolio companies that expertise exists, but it lives in someone’s memory, scattered across deal teams and CRM notes. Manual introductions burn social capital and, when a person leaves, the map of who can help whom leaves with them. Nexus makes that latent expertise recoverable inside the network the firm already trusts.

Why this team, this product, now.

The pieces needed for human-governed coordination matured at the same time Nexus shipped a runnable proof.

  1. 01

    The proof already runs

    Unlike slide-only theses, the matching→ratification flow ships today as source-available code. The difficult governance work — consent, ratification, recorded introductions — is built, not promised.

  2. 02

    EU AI Act human-oversight articles describe our model

    Articles requiring meaningful human oversight of consequential automated decisions describe exactly the ratification gate Nexus already implements. Our architecture is pre-aligned with where EU enforcement is heading, not retrofit onto it.

  3. 03

    Relationship capital walks out the door

    When a portfolio operator leaves, their map of who can help whom leaves with them. Nexus records that map inside the network, so the asset compounds instead of evaporating every redeparture cycle.

03Market opportunity

Coordination software for Europe’s trusted professional networks.

Sized bottom-up — count of target organizations multiplied by a realistic annual contract value, never off our customers’ assets. Figures are an estimate with stated assumptions, not validated demand.

TAM

Trusted-network coordination across European professional markets

~50,000 European professional firms — PE, advisors, and portfolio operators — where an introduction carries capital and consequence, at an assumed €80k average ACV.

Estimate ≈ €4B/yr. Bottom-up: ~50,000 target organizations × €80k mean ACV. Source assumptions in the data room.

SAM

PE- and portfolio-network coordination

~3,000 European PE firms plus ~10,000 of their portfolio companies — the networks whose trusted-coordination is the bottleneck — at an assumed €100k ACV.

Estimate ≈ €1.3B/yr. Bottom-up: ~13,000 target deployments × €100k ACV, benchmarked against enterprise collaboration and CRM-adjacent software.

SOM

Operator-led enterprise deployments

Private Nexus Enterprise deployments sold and operated alongside each customer. Near-term ramp: ~50 design-partner deployments at a €150k entry ACV.

Near-term estimate ≈ €7.5M/yr ARR, scaling with operator-led sales. Fewer, larger relationships rather than wide self-serve adoption.

Bottom-up estimate with stated assumptions, not validated demand.

04A core with domain extensions

Coordination infrastructure, not one narrow workflow.

The core combines member context, personal assistants, matching, ratification, reputation, introductions, circles, and messaging. Tenant packages can add domain tools without redefining the coordination model.

Nexus OS

Public source-available evaluation on one developer machine with Docker Compose and synthetic seeded data.

  • Inspect interaction and service boundaries
  • Test local human approval flows
  • Prototype extensions
  • No production guarantees
Architecture target

Nexus Enterprise

Private Kubernetes deployment, operations, isolation, integrations, and support for organization-scale networks.

  • Private operational assets
  • Enterprise deployment responsibility
  • Commercial engagement path
  • No public source access implied

Nexus OS evaluates locally on seeded data. Nexus Enterprise targets private, operator-led deployments for organization-scale networks; validated capacity is design-partner scale, with large-network topology as an architecture target, not a benchmark.

05Business model

How Nexus Enterprise is intended to earn.

Nexus OS is the free, source-available proof. Nexus Enterprise is the private, operator-led deployment we intend to sell. The streams below describe the intended model, not booked revenue.

Private deployments

Sold and operated alongside each customer for organization-scale networks, rather than self-serve sign-up.

Operations & support

Running trusted networks responsibly — hardening, isolation, integrations, and incident response — as an ongoing engagement.

Domain-extension packages

Tenant packages that embed the tooling each vertical relies on, layered on the shared coordination core.

Public proof creates confidence. Enterprise value lives in operating trusted networks.

Network adoption — every approved introduction deepens a graph competitors cannot see.
Permissioned context — members control what their assistant may surface; trust accrues to the operator who respects it.
Reputation history — a recorded, reviewable trail of decisions becomes the network’s institutional memory.
Governance workflows — ratification and circles encode how each network decides, not just what it knows.
Domain integrations — tenant packages embed the tooling each vertical already relies on.
Operating expertise — running trusted networks responsibly is itself a capability that compounds.

This thesis requires market validation.

06The ask

Raising €1.5M on a post-money SAFE to fund enterprise pilots and hardening.

We are raising to move Nexus from runnable proof to operated enterprise deployments with design partners. Full terms and a detailed use-of-funds breakdown are in the data room.

Enterprise pilot deployments with design-partner networks
Production-grade hardening, isolation, and integrations
Domain-extension packages for the first verticals
Operating expertise to run trusted networks responsibly
~40% enterprise pilots~30% hardening & infrastructure~20% domain packages~10% operations

No design-partner deployments are signed yet. The market hypothesis — European PE and portfolio networks — is the wedge this round is built to validate.

08Questions investors ask first

The objections, answered honestly.

Is the code openly licensed?

No. Nexus OS is source-available: you can inspect and run the proof locally, but the license is not an OSI-approved license. Nexus Enterprise is private and not source-available.

How do you make money?

Through private Nexus Enterprise deployments, the operations and support around them, and domain-extension packages. Nexus OS remains a free, source-available evaluation. No revenue is presented as booked.

Who are your customers?

We have not announced customers. This page describes an initial go-to-market hypothesis in European private capital, not signed traction. Design-partner conversations are part of the demo.

What is the moat versus LinkedIn or Salesforce?

Network adoption, permissioned context, reputation history, governance workflows, domain integrations, and operating expertise. Consumer address books and generic CRMs do not encode how a trusted network decides.

What is proven versus target?

The local matching-to-ratification flow runs on seeded data. Enterprise scale, production hardening, and market traction are architecture targets or hypotheses, not validated results.

How do I verify the claims?

Inspect the public repository, run the Docker Compose proof, read the security guidance, and review the evidence register. The investor demo walks through each claim and its source.

09Technical diligence

Inspect the evidence behind the story.

The public project exposes the local topology, source, tests, security guidance, provenance, and limitations. External feedback begins with issues while contribution governance is finalized.

Not production-ready. Compose is a local evaluation topology, not a hardened deployment.
No validated scale result. The enterprise scale figure is an architecture target, not a benchmark.
No market traction claim. Seeded people and outcomes are synthetic and privacy-safe.
No independent assurance. The project does not claim certification, regulatory compliance, or an external security audit.
No computed match intelligence in the demo. The "hidden expert" scenario and its match scores are authored seed data illustrating the ratification workflow; the shipped matcher performs exact-tag matching only.
