Andrew Van Nest

Managing Partner, Exceptional Capital

About

Andrew Van Nest is a Managing Partner at Exceptional Capital who brings an unusual combination of professional basketball experience (Harvard D1 and overseas) and hands-on business development leadership at Crunchyroll to his enterprise software investing, rather than following the typical finance-only path to VC. He co-founded a prior fund before Exceptional Capital and actively writes about automation and future-of-work themes, positioning him as both a repeat fund-builder and a thoughtful commentator on the enterprise workflow evolution that directly impacts the B2B SaaS companies he backs.
