The Nucleus Newsletter

Welcome back to the 11th edition of The Nucleus Newsletter! We have so much to share as we are ramping up Q2. Stay up to date for events, partnerships, investments, and more in the coming months!

Nucleus Community Highlight

We partnered with Morgan Stanley to curate a great room of founders, investors and business owners at The CORE: Club in NYC. We do these events as a way to lean into the power of warm introductions; connecting great people to great people is one of the main reasons why we started Nucleus!

Nucleus Ventures

Nucleus Ventures invests in startup founders at the early and late stages of entrepreneurship. Some of our most notable deals to date include:

• Anduril

• xAI

• Apptronik

• Beast Industries (Mr. Beast)

• Going Public

• Othership

Our thesis is simple; provide high quality deal flow to our LPs in the form of highly sought after deals at the later stage while simultaneously working with early stage founders in a hands on capacity.

We currently have access into SpaceX, Anduril, and a few other exciting late stage tech companies, reply here to learn more and chat further!

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.
