NAS Ventures is a private investment firm focused on acquiring and growing small businesses in the United States. We understand the passion, tenacity, and grit it takes to build a business — and we’re committed to honoring and building upon the legacies that owners have spent their lives creating. We want to empower your teams to be laser-focused on driving value to your customers, and we’re ready to help layer in technology and processes to scale.
Our founder – Neil Shah – knows what it means to be a hands-on operator and Chief Firefighting Officer. He forged his leadership experience in medical devices, co-founding and scaling Avitus Orthopaedics from a Johns Hopkins spinout to a successful exit to Zimmer Biomet. He understands the importance of surrounding oneself with talented and mission-driven people.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
We value integrity and building strong relationships with our customers, employees, and partners.
We study best practices and lessons learned while having the courage to explore bold new ideas.
We’re not here to make a quick buck. We’re looking to build durable businesses with solid foundations.
We’re not 9-to-5ers.
We’re Get-it-Doners.
We are biased towards action.
We’re big believers in leveraging technology to weed out inefficiencies and to help our teams perform their superhuman best.
Every business has its own fingerprint — formed by its founder, its people, and the communities it serves. That’s why we don’t walk in with a pre-baked playbook. We tailor the transition to your goals, your team, and your timeline. Whether you want to step away entirely, stay involved in a limited capacity, or hand the reins to someone who’ll respect what you’ve built — we’ve got options. We typically invest in founder/family-led businesses whose owners are ready to retire and have solid teams in place that are excited to keep building.
While this is our sweet spot, we prioritize talented teams and businesses that solve real, tangible problems for their customers. If you’d like to discuss your business, reach out to connect.
