Nucleus Ventures
Nucleus Ventures is an ecosystem for Family Offices, Venture Capital funds, Angel Investors, and Startup Founders, focused on syndicating capital and curating deal flow. At Nucleus Ventures, we're building momentum in the private investment space, helping our community engage with exclusive opportunities.
For 2025 and beyond, the top venture investors across the globe are in agreement on four key investment areas. These four are as follows:
AI
Defense Tech
Space Tech
Robotics
With Ventures, we are doubling down on these segments. Nucleus is already active in AI and Defense Tech through Anduril and xAI. We’re now advancing efforts in Space Tech with a leader in the industry and Robotics via "Project Apollo" (NDA required for company name).
Robotics: Project Apollo
We are preparing to invest in "Project Apollo," a frontrunner in humanoid robotics. With 2025 poised for mainstream adoption, Project Apollo’s rapid momentum aligns with market growth.
"Project Apollo," is raising $300M with participation from a top U.S. tech company, including Google, as a strategic partner. Nucleus has an SPV investing into Project Apollo at the end of January. Reply to this email to request the NDA for access to the data room and more details.
Partner Company Highlight: Boardy.AI
Who: Boardy was born to automate what his founder, Andrew D’Souza, has been doing his whole career - connecting the best people to each other to facilitate amazing projects.
What: Boardy uses a phone call to better understand people. Users simply send Boardy a message on LinkedIn with their email and phone number and Boardy calls them to talk through what they’re working on and where they might need help. Boardy then uses this information to make relevant connections with others in his network.
Why: Boardy’s mission is to build the most valuable community possible for his users to easily connect with like minded people and build real professional and personal relationships. With a network of well over 20,000 investors, entrepreneurs and executives and everyone in between, Boardy is redefining networking. You no longer have to go to endless events and send cold emails to get in touch with the right people - just DM Boardy on Linkedin.
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.
Total Introductions Made (TIM) | Conversions |
|---|---|
In the past 4 weeks, The Nucleus Network made 159 introductions | 84% have resulted in successful intros and so far 13% resulted in deals closed |
