Juniper Square, a fund operations partner to more than 2,000 private markets GPs, announced a strategic investment from Nasdaq Ventures to further accelerate innovation in private markets technology. In addition to the investment, Nasdaq and Juniper Square will establish a partnership which will explore ways to advance the development of integrated data and liquidity solutions for private fund managers. The news of this investment and partnership follows the company’s $130 million Series D financing announced in June.

“For over a decade, Juniper Square has been focused on helping GPs build enduring firms,” said Alex Robinson, CEO and Co-Founder at Juniper Square. “Nasdaq shares our vision for more efficient and transparent private markets. Together, we can combine world-class data with purpose-built software to deliver the go-to platform for raising and managing private capital.”

As private market investment continues to accelerate, next-generation data solutions that enhance GP visibility and turbocharge their fundraising efforts are a must for GPs. Juniper Square and Nasdaq will collaborate on new opportunities to deliver the tools critical to a modern GP enterprise and improve private market liquidity, including through innovations in secondaries.

“Private markets are experiencing a generational shift and real-time, data-driven insights are becoming essential to how firms raise and deploy capital,” said Gary Offner, Senior Vice President, Head of Nasdaq Ventures at Nasdaq. “Juniper Square provides an innovative platform to support fund operations for GPs, and we’re proud to invest in their vision.”

This investment and collaboration mark a significant step in Juniper Square’s efforts to deliver AI-powered solutions, integrated services, and industry-specific infrastructure to the global private markets.
