At NBS Ventures, we’re passionate about investing in startups that share our vision of a better, more inclusive society. As the investment arm of Nationwide Building Society, the UK’s largest mutual financial institution, we’re uniquely positioned to support innovative companies that can benefit our members and society as a whole. In this Startup Showcase, we’ll take a closer look at our mission, approach, and the types of startups we invest in.
Our Mission: Supporting the Innovators of Tomorrow
At NBS Ventures, our mission is to support startups that are developing solutions to the challenges facing our society. We’re particularly interested in companies that share our values of inclusivity, sustainability, and community building. Our investment strategy is driven by a belief in the power of collaboration, both within our own team and with the startups we partner with. We provide not only funding, but also expertise and resources to help startups achieve their goals, whether that’s scaling their operations, reaching new audiences, or developing new products.
Our Investment Approach: Taking a Minority Stake in Seed and Series A Rounds
At NBS Ventures, we invest globally in Seed and Series A fundraising rounds, taking minority stakes in companies that align with our values and objectives. We prioritize startups that are at an early stage of development and have the potential to grow rapidly with the right support. Our team of experienced investors evaluates each opportunity based on a range of factors, including the strength of the team, the market opportunity, and the potential for impact. We also look for startups that are committed to responsible business practices, have a clear growth strategy, and are targeting a large and sustainable market.
Our Portfolio: Supporting Innovative Startups Across the Globe
Since our foundation in 2018, we’ve invested in a diverse range of startups across a range of sectors, from fintech and proptech to healthtech and edtech. Our portfolio includes companies like Flo, a period-tracking app that has over 100 million users worldwide, MindLabs, an AI-powered mental health startup, and OZO, a startup that develops 360-degree camera technology for virtual reality experiences. We’re proud to support these and other innovative startups, and we’re excited to continue growing our portfolio in the years ahead.
