Nova Capital

The London-based niche secondaries specialist Nova Capital has appointed Olav Ostin and David Tate to acquire direct venture capital investments from other managers. Ostin joins from ETF Group, a venture capital firm headquartered in Lugano, Switzerland. Tate was formerly head of investments at WestLB Panmure. According to David Williamson, a Nova co-founder, the new appointments were designed to “spearhead a real attack on the venture spaceâ€, where Nova has identified significant opportunities to acquire transatlantic venture portfolios from European managers. Nova focuses exclusively on purchasing and managing direct investments; whilst the firm has not raised a fund, it will work with a select group of investors including the mainstream secondaries houses to provide capital for the transactions it sources and executes.
