About Nelstone Ventures

Nelstone Ventures is a New York-based venture capital firm founded in 2013 by Rich Nelson, who serves as its Managing Director. The firm invests in early to growth-stage technology companies, with a thesis focused on enterprise software, gaming, healthcare, consumer internet, and technology-enabled business-to-business sectors. While specific check sizes are not publicly standardized, its latest tracked deal was a $10.0M Seed Extension in Somnee, and the firm typically syndicates opportunities rather than acting as a sole lead. Notable portfolio companies include Somnee, Allermi, and Petal, the latter of which exited in April 2024. Nelstone distinguishes itself by targeting management teams with disruptive ideas, large market opportunities, and competitive differentiation, offering strategic capital alongside M&A and exit guidance. The firm does not appear to publish public writing or a distinctive point of view beyond its standard investment criteria.
