Who I Am

You Talk Directly to the Buyer.

Nikita Kan, Vertex Home Partners

Nikita Kan is a Los Angeles–based investor and operator actively acquiring owner-operated home services businesses across Southern California.

Nikita's background spans the trades, healthcare, and information technology, and he is building a long-term portfolio of stable, cash-flowing businesses and commercial real estate. Years in software shaped how he evaluates opportunities — analytical, adaptable, and execution-focused — and working across industries taught him to learn new environments fast and work well with owners, operators, and partners from every background.

I bring both the operational knowledge to run these businesses and the financial understanding to close the right deal — and I take the transition of your team and your customers seriously.
