Our Investment Focus
NSC acquires exceptional cloud-native services businesses to drive growth and operational scale.
The NSC Way
NSC is a hands-on investor. We know that active involvement can make the difference between success and failure of a company. So, when we invest in a business, our expertise and active engagement come along with the capital we invest. We provide solid financial backing and we act swiftly where speed is needed.
Our network becomes your network
We bring the expertise, resources, and strategic insight needed to facilitate growth
We know what it takes to lead and scale a business. Collectively, the leadership team has held various executive positions across technology startups and Fortune 500 enterprises. We have distinct experience in building world-class sales and engineering teams, and have an extensive as well as diverse network of engineers, executives, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, business development managers, sellers, and partner/channel resources across our target market.
Working Together
We look to partner closely and cooperatively with management teams and entrepreneurs that have track records of success. We believe that the combination of our industry knowledge, investment experience, and operational expertise provides NSC with an edge in identifying and creating value in opportunities. Our strategy is to work as partners to implement a robust suite of offerings and provide the knowhow to navigate within the major public cloud providers.
This is why we call ourselves hands-on investors
Nine times out of ten, the companies we invest in have reached a stage where a new conduct of business is required in order to improve the business performance and achieve growth. A fresh and sound view on service development, methods, and efficiency is often of value. NSC not only contributes capital, but also the experience, vision and inspiration needed to reach the next stage in the development of the company.

We invest in companies in need of transformational change
