Militello Capital Makes Follow-on Investment in Nexercise
Leesburg, VA (PRWEB) May 06, 2015 -- Militello Capital, a greater Washington, DC private equity investment firm, announces its follow-on investment and participation as the largest investor in the most recent round of financing for Nexercise, a Baltimore-based and veteran-led customizable fitness app company.
Two years after its initial investment, Militello Capital has reinvested in Nexercise in support of the launch of its new app, Sworkit. Militello increased its capital offering by 500 percent to close out the latest funding round. Nexercise is one of the 35 investments in Militello Venture Partners II Fund (MVP II), which closed in early February and whose portfolio companies experienced aggregate revenue growth of 162 percent from Q4 2013 to Q4 2014.
Aside from the increasing interest in fitness technology and the growth Nexercise has experienced in particular, William Militello, CEO of Miltello Capital, also saw an opportunity to partner with a fellow veteran turned entrepreneur, Greg Coleman, COO of Nexercise. Militello graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis and served as a Captain in the U.S. Marine Corps, while Coleman graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy and served as a U.S. Air Force pilot and squadron commander. Coleman’s business acumen was garnered at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he received his MBA. He is also an alumni of the prestigious Techstars accelerator program.
“The combination of great product offerings and Greg’s leadership and adaptive skills in an increasingly competitive and rapidly evolving marketplace made our decision to further support a fellow veteran easy,” says Militello. “We are energized to see the entrepreneurial spirit alive and well in our nation’s veterans.”
