The Nucleus Newsletter Edition #12
Welcome to the 12th edition of The Nucleus Newsletter—our one-year anniversary issue! That’s twelve months of momentum, milestones, and hitting send. The past few weeks have been full throttle, with standout moments like our F1 event, new partnerships hitting the track, and bold investments steering us into an exciting Q3.
There’s more to come in the weeks ahead (rumor has it, we’re making a pit stop in Cannes for Cannes Lions). Stay tuned—this summer's about to heat up!
Nucleus Community Highlight
Klay Media x Nucleus Padel Tournament in Culver City
We partnered with Klay Media for a high-energy Padel tournament in Culver City, bringing together founders, operators, and creatives for a night of competition and connection. The winning duo walked away with $500—and bragging rights, of course—plus a comically oversized check they somehow managed to fit in their Uber.
Alliance Bernstein x Nucleus - F1 Miami Happy Hour at Rosa Sky
Hosted an F1 Miami Happy Hour with AllianceBernstein at Rosa Sky, bringing together founders, investors, and operators for an evening of warm intros and great energy—the kind of connections that fuel Nucleus.
Nucleus Ventures
At Nucleus Ventures, we empower groundbreaking startups with capital and connections.
Since we sent the 1st edition of The Nucleus Newsletter 12 months ago, we’ve invested over $14 million across 12 early and late stage companies, partnering with our network of family offices, angel investors, and high-net-worth individuals, including successfully exited founders.
Recent Highlights:
Previously closed on companies including Anduril, xAI, Apptronik, Beast Industries (Mr. Beast), and others.
Currently closing two exciting seed-stage deals: a luxury streetwear brand based in NYC and a CPG business called The Crippling Company with an incredible story.
Actively curating high-potential deal flow for our investor network to co-invest alongside us into our next deal… Neuralink.

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.
