Nomerra has raised $2 million to make private market operations AI-native for the asset servicers and asset managers behind the world’s fastest-growing capital market. The round was led by 14Peaks Capital, with participation from Redstone Fintech and individuals from firms including KKR and Intapp.
The company was founded by Johannes Gebendorfer and Jakob Zacherl, who were both first employees at bunch, a tech-enabled fund administrator with over $50 million in backing. They helped scale the team to more than 100 people and expand across Europe. Both saw firsthand how AI transforms private market operations and founded Nomerra to bring that shift to the industry at large.
In their previous roles, the founders realized that everything that makes public markets efficient simply does not exist for private markets: there is no standardization, no interconnectedness, no efficient record-keeping. The same data gets manually retyped between isolated systems and spreadsheets, often multiple times for a single transaction. Meanwhile, private markets have become much more complex to operate in recent years: new investor channels, more frequent reporting, tighter regulation, semi-liquid structures, evergreens, and expansion into novel asset classes all add more operational load. The industry’s default response has been to hire more people, but the right people are getting harder to find. As private markets triple in size over the next five years, the number of qualified accountants has decreased by a third over the last decade.
Nomerra tackles this by making private market operations AI-native, starting with the scattered, high-volume work enterprise asset servicers and managers still run by hand: fund accounting, treasury and transfer agency. The work that runs in the background, but holds the entire industry together.
Nomerra connects to the systems firms are already using, including ERPs, banking platforms, email and document storage. It pulls information into a single context layer so agents can see everything a human operator would see. From there, Nomerra agents follow the firm’s own operating procedures: reading documents, extracting the right data, cross-checking it across sources, and delivering outcomes the same way a trained team member would. Users hand off work to Nomerra agents through tools they’re already in or by setting up continuously running background agents.
“Think of how telephone operators used to connect one caller to another by plugging cables into a switchboard,” said Johannes Gebendorfer, Co-Founder and CEO of Nomerra. “Today, the fact that humans once routed every phone call manually is hard to imagine. Private market operations are at the same turning point. In a few years, people will look back and wonder how any of this was ever done by hand.”
The goal is to shift people from preparing deliverables to reviewing them. Nomerra agents handle the end-to-end execution and present the output in purpose-built review interfaces with a full audit trail: what was done, why, and where the data came from. Over time, even the review layer becomes supervisory, and teams orchestrate fleets of Nomerra agents that ship entire deliverables on their own.
“Generic AI tools can only go so far in an environment this complex,“ said Edoardo Ermotti, Founding General Partner of 14Peaks Capital. “Nomerra was built from the ground up for the depth private markets require. Johannes and Jakob lived this problem before they set out to solve it, and that vertical focus is already proving to be a distribution edge. We’re thrilled to put our network and experience behind them, to keep building a product this specialized and to get it into the market at scale.”
More capital than ever is expected to flow into private markets, and every manager and servicer needs to be ready to capture their share. Nomerra gives them the bandwidth to do it, letting firms scale without being bottlenecked by operations. The company will use the funding to grow its engineering team and meet surging demand for AI solutions across enterprise asset servicers and managers in Europe and the United States.
