Fund I (US$ 14 mn, 2012) has returned 4.6x gross MOIC at 21.7% gross IRR; Fund II (US$ 30 mn, 2017) stands at 3.2x gross MOIC and 31.0% gross IRR; Fund III (US$ 69 mn, 2021) is at 1.2x gross MOIC. The Continuum Fund I is a Category II AIF registered in October 2025, consistent with YourNest's strategy of launching continuation vehicles to manage follow-on opportunities and secondary liquidity for its portfolio companies across DeepTech sectors.

The firm focuses on pre-Series A, IP-led, enterprise-oriented DeepTech startups (AI, IoT, Robotics, AR/VR, Edge Computing, SpaceTech, AgriTech) that address global markets with validated products. YourNest invests only post-customer validation and maintains a high partner-to-founder ratio, with eight partners actively managing 34 portfolio companies. ESG integration is embedded in investment decisions per the manager's stated ESG policy.
