An announcement gives the size of the round, not the size of this investor's cheque: the only rounds that imply a cheque are those where they were the sole named investor.

## The team

Named by the firm itself, on a filing, its Form ADV or its company registration **3 named**

NG **Neeraj Gupta** MANAGING MEMBER GENERAL PARTNER i Filing they signed

PS **Preetish Suresh Nijhawan** MANAGING MEMBER i Filing they signed

SS **Shirish Sathaye** Managing Member i Form ADV

We also hold **10** people at this firm from the lists this database was built from: a weaker source than the filings, since a list does not say when a title ended. Login to see them.

## What the register says

From the firm's own filings with the SEC, which it must file accurately by law

**$706M** gross assets of its funds Oct 2026

**Exempt** reporting adviser venture or small private funds

- **Legal name:** Cervin Ventures Management, LLC
- **SEC number:** CRD 283170

## What they claim to have backed

From their own portfolio page (on their website)

**1** of 1 we have independently watched raise

[AiFi](https://millionrounds.com/company/aifi)

Weaker than a round we watched, stronger than a list somebody sold us. A firm is far less willing to put a company on its own site that it never funded.

## Exits from the portfolio

Companies it backed that were later bought or listed **2 in all**

**[Claritics](https://millionrounds.com/company/claritics)** Bought by Systems In Motion **Undisclosed** Jan 2013

**[Involver](https://millionrounds.com/company/involver)** Bought by [Oracle Corporation](https://millionrounds.com/fund/oracle) **Undisclosed** Jul 2012

An exit counts when it came after the firm's first round in the company. From historical deal records.
