An Inside Look Into Our KPIs

Each newsletter, we like to highlight some key internal KPIs, our total introductions made and our conversions. See a quick explanation of the metrics below:

• "Total Introductions" = The sum of all warm introductions facilitated by Nucleus via email, text, and phone calls. This number does not include introductions made through our community events.

• “Successful Intros”: If the two individuals and companies connect and have a positive interaction, leading to business now or possibly in the future

• “Deal Closed”: A deal or partnership was generated and solidified from the warm introduction

Key Insight: As we develop our business, we are aiming to bring quality introductions over quantity. Ensuring that we are not only connecting you with high quality people, but also hand selecting each introduction personally.

Recent & Upcoming Events

Looking Ahead

As we look to the future, our focus remains firmly on strengthening the three core pillars of Nucleus: Community, Advisory, and Ventures. Each area has seen significant momentum, and we’re beginning to witness the compounding impact of that growth.

In 2025, we’re doubling the number of events we hosted in 2024, with plans to sustain—and even accelerate—this pace throughout the year. Our advisory program has also expanded rapidly, now twice the size it was just a year ago. The team continues to work with dedication and precision to deliver exceptional results for every client.

On the ventures side, we’ve seen an exceptional surge in deal flow, providing our investor community with access to unprecedented opportunities in the market.

As we continue to scale, our commitment remains the same: to deliver the Nucleus experience - efficient, reliable, and high-quality - every step of the way.
