Simeon Iheagwam is the founder and managing partner of NOEMIS Ventures, a New York-based seed and pre-seed firm he launched in 2016 after leaving his role as an investment banker at Wells Fargo and JP Morgan. His investment thesis targets early-stage startups in three specific sectors: fintech, artificial intelligence/machine learning, and marketplaces, with a primary geographic focus on the United States. Typical check sizes range from $100,000 to $1 million, with a sweet spot at $1 million, and he often leads rounds in pre-seed and seed stages. Notable portfolio companies include Travelsist, which raised a $1 million seed round in 2024, Vyrill, a $3 million seed investment in 2022, and AlgoPear, a $720,000 pre-seed investment. Iheagwam distinguishes his approach with a rigorous eight-factor investment framework inspired by his leveraged-finance background, requiring all criteria to be met before investing. He is a Brooklyn-born investor of Nigerian heritage who initially self-funded a pilot fund of 10 companies with his entire life savings before raising institutional capital.
