The Nucleus Newsletter Edition #15
Welcome to the 15th edition of The Nucleus Newsletter. From breaking bread with founders at the Rho Dinner to winning at Padel Tournaments, this edition is all about depth over breadth. We’ve doubled down on spaces that spark trust, pulled energy from shared experiences, and kept building with the people who remind us why community comes first.
Nucleus Community Highlight
TNN x Klay Media Padel Tournament 2025
We hosted another Padel Tournament in LA last week with Klay Media and PadelUp, and it did not disappoint. Founders, investors, and friends of the network showed up for an afternoon of volleys, rematches, and plenty of sideline banter.
Shoutout to Mike Pollack, Dustin O’Halloran, and the whole crew for making it happen. And yes, Jake and his partner finally got the win this time.
Rho x Nucleus x Nomad Founder and Friends Dinner
Last week, we hosted a Rho x Nucleus x Nomad Network Dinner. We had great food, better company, and conversations that remind us why this community matters. Big thanks to our partner Rho for making it possible. From early-stage startups to public companies, they’re helping teams manage cash, control spend, and scale smarter.
US Open Tennis Event
We also brought 10 Nucleus friends to the US Open in NYC. The tennis was world-class, but the real highlight was the time spent with founders, investors, and friends who make this network what it is.
