New Stack Ventures

  • General Partner

    2015 - Current

    Access to Venture Capital is not evenly distributed. Historically, 80%+ of VC has been invested in Silicon Valley insiders. Yet, many of the most iconic companies were built by those who didn't go to Stanford, work for Big Tech, or call the Bay Area Home. We exist to back those founders. Founder Nick Moran launched the first VC podcast, one of the first AngelList Syndicates, and has raised over $100M AUM to address severe pricing inefficiencies in the startup equity market. New Stack leads early seed stage (angel, pre-seed, seed) B2B SaaS rounds with an emphasis on Fintech, Healthcare, and Legacy Industries.
