Innovating VC Beyond Silicon Valley

Nick Moran is the founder and General Partner of New Stack Ventures. Prior to New Stack, Nick spent time as both an investor and an operator. He worked in M&A for Danaher, a science and technology conglomerate. Subsequently, Nick developed one of the most successful products in the company’s history, a novel way of testing compounds in drinking water. New Stack Ventures is a pre-seed / seed stage fund invest in the exceptions. Our startups often don’t look like what’s commonly funded in Silicon Valley. The standard formula of Stanford educated, Google trained, Bay Area-located is NOT what we’re looking for. We believe in mission-driven founders with an irrational commitment to their cause –regardless of location or circumstance.
