NYCA Partners

Managing Partner Hans Morris leads the investment committee. He is joined by partners Ravi Mohan, Stephanie Khoo and Jasleen Kaur — each of whom brought financial-services operating or investment-banking experience to the firm before joining. Operating Partner Matt Homer, a former digital-asset regulator, participates in investment evaluation, particularly on regulatory risk assessments. The firm discloses these five senior investment professionals on its public team page.

NYCA relies heavily on a disclosed community of over 100 senior advisors drawn from finance, technology, academia and government. This network is described as actively engaged in company building and sourcing. Additionally, the partners' career histories — spanning Visa, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and the NYDFS — provide a direct pipeline from large financial institutions and regulatory circles where fintech founders typically seek early validation.

NYCA operates as a traditional venture capital firm raising discrete funds from institutional investors; it is not a family office. The firm has disclosed raising a fifth fund and reports approximately $975 million in assets under management on its website. It is a registered investment adviser managing outside capital, not a proprietary pool of family wealth.

Public materials describe NYCA as a direct investor making seed-to-Series-B equity investments in operating companies. There is no public indication that the firm allocates capital to other venture funds as a limited partner. The firm's emphasis on an active advisory community and board seats suggests a direct, concentrated engagement model.

NYCA describes itself as focusing primarily on early-stage investing, spanning seed through Series B. Its website frames the mandate as 'conviction capital for fintech founders' from seed to scale. The firm can enter at formation and follow on through expansion rounds within its four vertical thesis areas.

NYCA's investment thesis organizes around four verticals — payments and financial transactions, capital formation and risk, digital advice, and financial infrastructure — and the firm has not publicly declared explicit avoidance categories. However, the portfolio does not appear to extend into areas like hard tech, life sciences or consumer packaged goods, consistent with its stated fintech-only mandate.

Public sources do not detail a formal co-investment program or club-deal vehicle. The firm's community of over 100 advisors and its institutional LP relationships likely provide informal co-investment channels, but there is no published document outlining a dedicated co-invest platform or syndication policy. The firm does not market itself as a fund-of-funds or co-invest vehicle.
