We’ve Been There.
Now we've got your back.
We founded NCV with a single purpose - to have a strategic and positive impact on every startup we invest in and drive strong returns. We do this by providing mentorship, guidance, expertise, capital, and access to our vast network.
The experience of our members, boasting over 1000 years of collective experience at marquee companies and in executive leadership roles, is truly exceptional. The best way to describe it is that our team has ‘been there, done that, got a T-shirt!’. That, is the strength of knowledge and expertise at our founders fingertips!
We are thoughtful and active investors, and have devised a thorough review and diligence process so that we can really get under the hood with our founders and make thoughtful, aligned, and impactful capital investments. We are proud to say that we do in fact ‘put our money where our mouth is’ and back our founders from first $1 through exit.
We value our sense of partnership. At the end of the day, we are a team that thoroughly enjoys working together. We support each other, we challenge and push each other, and we drive to the best possible outcomes for our collective success. This is the essence of our culture, and is the culture that we bring to our founders and founding teams.
