Our Core Values

The foundational concepts of who we are, and how we do what we do.

  • The truth has no bias—and our interpretation of it shouldn’t either.
  • The ‘right thing to do’ is always right.
  • Our prime value to customers comes not in the recommendations we deliver, but the opportunities we uncover in the first place.
  • Create opportunity by developing solutions to specific problems based on sound, proven first principles.
  • Question EVERYTHING.
  • Embrace candor, but with a warm, human hand.
  • As a team, we always have each other’s back.

Our promise to our investors is that when choosing NVNG, corporate and institutionally venture-oriented investors get a disciplined, rigorous, and proven matchmaker that can vet, curate, and advance their unique objectives by connecting them with opportunities via  diversified ‘fund of funds’ products.

The NVNG Investment Strategy

Fund of Funds

The venture capital industry has become synonymous with disruption for its ability to finance and grow industry altering technologies. Unlike a traditional fund of funds with a purely financial focus, NVNG’s funds are built to strategically connect motivated investor bases with venture capital professionals to advance investors’ objectives.
