DraftKings joined the ecosystem exclusive activations incoming

On track for 60 events in 2026; job board open with new roles (Sydecar, Big Think Capital, Pickle, Viper)
Nucleus Community Highlight
10,000 introductions. Here's what that actually means.
Ten thousand warm, curated connections made over 2.5 years. Texts, Emails and IRL.
Those connections produced real outcomes. Founders met co-founders. Operators landed roles. Deals got done. One person said it best: "I met my co-founder at a Nucleus dinner. That introduction changed everything."
The number matters less than what it represents. We're building the kind of network where the right introduction at the right moment becomes a defining one.
Next up: 100,000.
Up next: We're building across cities. Here's where we're showing up:
NEW YORK
Rho Founders Dinner (Nucleus x Rho) Seed to Series A founders.
Sauna Rave at Othership (Nucleus x Range Group)
Community Leads Collective: Vol. 2 Dinner (Nucleus x Morgan Stanley x Dion x Newmark)
LOS ANGELES
Backgammon & Coffee (Nucleus x Rho)
MIAMI
F1 Weekend Activation
Nucleus x DraftKings is Official.
We're intentional about who we build with. DraftKings is one of the most recognized names in sports and culture and now they're part of the Nucleus ecosystem.
For friends of the Nucleus community, that means exclusive activations at our events, curated experiences, and access to one of the most powerful brands in sports entertainment.
You'll start seeing them in the rooms we're building around the world.
Watch this space.
