The Nucleus Newsletter Edition #13
Welcome to the 13th edition of The Nucleus Newsletter. From tennis matches on the Riviera to a private dinner in NYC celebrating our latest investment, the past few weeks have been packed with connection, momentum, and meaningful moments. We’ve doubled down on what we believe in: great people, intentional gatherings, and backing founders who know how to build trust at scale.
Nucleus Community Highlight
Tennis on the Riviera - Cannes 2025
We teamed up with MyDNAge, Yahoo DSP, Cash App, Klay Media, and Narrative to host Tennis on the Riviera during Cannes Lions 2025—a sun-soaked afternoon of rallies, returns, and real connections. Led by tennis legend Rennae Stubbs (who beat us all, obviously), the event brought together founders, marketers, and media folks for some fun off the Croisette.
Siegelman Stable x Nucleus: Investor Dinner
Few weeks back, we brought together a sharp group of investors, operators, and friends to celebrate our latest investment: Siegelman Stable. Max Siegelman has quietly built one of the most culturally relevant brands out there—earning trust from athletes, celebrities, and teams like the Knicks, Mets, Yankees, and Rangers.
Nucleus Ventures
Nucleus Ventures invests in founders who leverage the power of the warm introduction. Instead of a fund, we utilize the syndicate model to allow our clients, friends and contacts to co-invest alongside us on a deal by deal basis through SPV’s (special purpose vehicles). Since our last newsletter, we've made 3 new investments;

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.
