Nomad Ventures
We love startups disrupting Archaic Industries with Strong Network Effects and High Barriers to Entry. | Marketplaces have intrinsic advantages: Strong Network Effects, Asset Light Scalability, and high Barriers to Entry - that's why they outperform other startups when they are successful. That said, they are complicated and difficult to build right and fail at a higher rate early. That's where Nomad Ventures comes in.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Nomad Ventures?
Investment decisions are run by the three co-founders and managing partners. The team includes a former Bird executive and Wheels CEO, an early UberEats driver-growth lead who moved to Opendoor, and a Wharton MBA who was a founding UberEats team member and Kauffman Fellow. The firm's website does not detail a formal investment committee structure, suggesting decisions are made collectively by this small group.
What is Nomad Ventures' investment thesis?
The firm invests against three thematic pillars: autonomous infrastructure, AI-powered data network effects, and hybrid marketplaces. The thesis leverages the partners' operating experience at Uber, Bird, and Opendoor. They target Pre-Seed and Seed-stage companies where they believe their operational background provides an unfair advantage in evaluating founders and market dynamics.
Does Nomad Ventures disclose its fund size or assets under management?
No. Nomad Ventures does not publicly disclose its fund size or assets under management. The firm's website notes that the partners have collectively raised over $100 million in venture capital during their operating careers, but this is not a statement of capital currently deployed by Nomad Ventures itself.
How does Nomad Ventures source its deals?
The firm relies heavily on the partners' personal networks built at Uber, Bird, and through affiliations like the Kauffman Fellows Program and Upfront Ventures. Their thesis is that they can anticipate the next wave in their focus sectors because of their deep operating experience, offering them proprietary insights rather than relying on broad inbound deal flow.
Is Nomad Ventures an operating company or a traditional venture fund?
Nomad Ventures is structured as a traditional early-stage venture capital firm, not an operating company or venture studio. The partners' backgrounds are as operators, but the firm functions as an external fund manager investing in independent startups. They do not build companies in-house.
