The private market is at a crossroads. As it grows exponentially, it faces a paperwork crisis. Manual processes are inefficient, and the demand for skilled accountants is outstripping supply. This is where Nomerra steps in, offering a solution that could transform the industry.
Nomerra has raised $2 million in a funding round led by 14Peaks Capital, with participation from Redstone Fintech and individuals from firms like KKR and Intapp. The company was founded by Johannes Gebendorfer and Jakob Zacherl, who witnessed the inefficiencies of private market operations firsthand at bunch, a tech-enabled fund administrator with over $50 million in backing. They helped scale the team to over 100 people and expand across Europe, seeing how AI could revolutionize the industry.
In private markets, there’s no standardization, interconnectedness, or efficient record-keeping. Data is manually retyped multiple times between isolated systems and spreadsheets. Meanwhile, the market has become more complex, with new investor channels, frequent reporting, tighter regulation, and expansion into novel asset classes. The industry’s response has been to hire more people, but qualified accountants are scarce. Private markets are expected to triple in size over the next five years, while the number of qualified accountants has decreased by a third in the last decade.
Nomerra aims to make private market operations AI-native. It starts with high-volume tasks like fund accounting, treasury, and transfer agency, which are currently done manually. The company connects to existing systems, such as ERPs, banking platforms, email, and document storage. It pulls information into a single context layer, allowing its agents to see what a human operator would. The agents then follow the firm’s operating procedures, reading documents, extracting data, cross-checking sources, and delivering outcomes like a trained team member. Users can hand off work through existing tools or set up background agents.
The goal is to shift people from preparing deliverables to reviewing them. Nomerra agents handle end-to-end execution and present output in review interfaces with a full audit trail. Over time, the review layer becomes supervisory, and teams can orchestrate fleets of agents to deliver entire projects.
Edoardo Ermotti of 14Peaks Capital notes that generic AI tools are limited in the complex private market environment. Nomerra was built from the ground up for this industry, and its founders’ experience gives it a competitive edge. The company will use the funding to grow its engineering team and meet the surging demand for AI solutions in Europe and the United States.
As more capital flows into private markets, managers and servicers need to be ready. Nomerra provides the bandwidth to scale without operational bottlenecks. In the long run, it could reshape the private market industry, making operations more efficient and reducing the reliance on manual labor. Firms that adopt Nomerra’s solutions early will likely gain a competitive advantage, positioning themselves for success in the rapidly evolving private market landscape.
