ANNOUNCING NUCLEUS 2.0:

The next evolution of The Nucleus Network

1. Nucleus Ventures
2. Nucleus Advisory
3. Nucleus Community

Nucleus Ventures

Nucleus Ventures is an ecosystem for Family Offices, Venture Capital funds, Angel Investors and Startup Founders to connect, learn and invest together. We strive to enable the flow of capital, mentorship, and industry expertise to scale promising companies and innovative products.

We invest alongside our LPs (Limited Partners) into SPVs (Special Purpose Vehicles) in startups that are shaping the future. SPVs lower the barrier to entry for investors to gain access to invest in startups and we are committed to providing that access to the Nucleus Syndicate.

Nucleus Ventures closed our most recent investment last week into Apptronik; a robotics company specializing in the development of general-purpose humanoid robots designed to work alongside humans in various industries.

We participated in the Series A of $350M, led by Google and B Capital, a VC fund started by Facebook Co-Founder, Eduardo Saverin. Read more about the raise here.

Previous investments also include:

• X.ai

• Going Public

• Anduril

• Boardy.ai

• Impulse Space

• And more…

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.

First and foremost - check out our new website here - we were blessed to work with the amazing teams at King Tide & AUW Studio to put this together.

This is the official launch of our new model, focusing on three main aspects that we have been hinting at for a few months: Ventures, Advisory, & Community. Each of these encapsulates our core offerings - and what we hope to continue building for the next decade.
