NOEMIS Ventures

NOEMIS Ventures is a solo-GP venture capital firm founded in 2017 and headquartered in Brooklyn, New York. Founded and managed by Simeon Iheagwam, a Brooklyn-born investor who started the fund with his own savings, the firm invests in and advises pre-seed and seed-stage startups. It applies a distinctive 8-factor leveraged-finance framework to early-stage company evaluation, a methodology more commonly associated with credit analysis than venture investing. The firm focuses on fintech, AI, and machine learning, and marketplace companies, with a preference for New York City-based founders. Typical check sizes range from $100K to $1 million. Beyond capital, NOEMIS provides strategic advisory support and actively partners with founders across company-building challenges. The fund has reported top-quartile performance, with major liquidity events across the majority of its initial portfolio companies. Its portfolio of over 30 companies includes Squire, Petal Card (acquired by Empower), Hopscotch (acquired by Avalara), Burrow (acquired by Havenly), Trigger (acquired by Circle), Empower, Prism Data, Daba Finance, AlgoPear, Spleet, EmTech, Markable, Vyrill, and GrailPay, among others, spanning fintech, consumer tech, marketplaces, and media.
