## About Nelstone Ventures

Nelstone Ventures is a venture capital firm that syndicates investment opportunities across various-stage technology companies. Founded in 2015 by Rich Nelson — a former M&A attorney at Skadden Arps with corporate development experience at Nielsen and IAC/InterActiveCorp — the firm is based in New York, NY.

Its investment focus spans enterprise software, gaming, healthcare, consumer internet, and technology-enabled B2B companies, seeking strong management teams with disruptive ideas, large market opportunities, and competitive differentiation.

The firm provides strategic capital paired with a network of relationships, investment insights, and strategic M&A and exit-related advice, syndicating deals it sources and participates in directly.
