Investment thesis
Nido Ventures invests in pre-seed founders applying technology to modernize traditional, foundational industries across the US/Mexico corridor. The firm views Mexico, as the United States' top trading partner, as well positioned to drive the next wave of transformation in U.S. foundational industries, with technology as the catalyst that helps legacy sectors adopt innovation, improve productivity, and modernize. Nido partners with teams at the earliest stages, typically leading or participating in a company's first institutional round, and favors companies with at least one technical founder. It looks for teams offering technical, product, and go-to-market expertise who deeply understand the challenges of traditional industries.
