Nomad Capital

Nomad Capital

Nomad Capital was founded in Dublin by Marc McCabe, whose operational pedigree includes an early tenure at Airbnb where he led initiatives like Airbnb for Work. His prior investing experience at Ron Conway's SV Angel and a role at Google shape a venture practice rooted in product-led, network-intensive company building. The firm targets nascent marketplace and B2B software companies, deploying seed-stage capital when teams are still establishing product-market fit. McCabe's investing posture draws directly from his angel portfolio and an advisory practice that supports founders on fundraising, business strategy, and organizational design. The geographic footprint connects European founders — particularly in Ireland and the UK — to North American venture networks, reflecting McCabe's own transatlantic career arc. As a solo founder-led vehicle, Nomad Capital operates with a concentrated decision-making structure. McCabe supplements direct investments with a published fundraising playbook and podcast appearances, signaling an operator-first ethos rather than institutional asset-gathering. Adjacent vehicles and formal philanthropic structures are not disclosed. Nomad Capital's structural differentiator is its founder's dual identity as an active advisor and seed investor. Unlike multi-stage firms, the fund functions as an extension of McCabe's own venture relationships, blending capital deployment with hands-on operational support for pre-institutional startups in Europe.
