Connexa Capital, backed by Zumba, Noom founders, closes $20M debut VC fund
Jonathan Beda, the founder of Zumba Fitness edtech spinout Zumbini, has raised $20 million for his debut fund, Connexa Capital Fund I, he told PitchBook exclusively. Connexa Capital will primarily invest in B2B SaaS companies, but the fund’s limited partners include investors with a consumer pedigree, such as Alberto Perlman, co-founder of Zumba; Saeju Jeong, co-founder of healthy-eating app Noom; and Thomas Andruskevich, a former CFO of jewelry giant Tiffany & Co.
Connexa Capital, backed by Zumba, Noom founders, closes $20M debut VC fund
When raising his first VC fund, Jonathan Beda tapped into his deep roots in consumer companies. Beda founded Zumbini, the child-focused edtech startup that spun out of Zumba Fitness. And his LP base includes the co-founders of weight-loss app developer Noom and Zumba. Connexa isn’t ruling out consumer-focused investments. “There’s a lot to love about a direct-to-consumer,” Beda said, citing an instant feedback loop, the potential to go viral and active M&A buyers. But “it’s a bit of a black box,” he added. “It takes some fairly blind testing and spending and iterating that can get expensive, especially if things aren’t going well.”
