Nick joined Octopus Ventures in 2018 as part of the Fintech team.
He previously founded two payments companies – Mojo, a platform in London that provided booking and payment software to the beauty and wellness industry, and Snagtag, a New York-based retail platform that leveraged NFC tags to let shoppers pay for in-store items directly on their phone.
Nick holds a double major in finance and economics from Miami Herbert Business School.
Outside of investing, Nick loves the theatre, gardening and enjoys kite surfing or skiing, depending on the season.
“Co-founding two businesses has provided a crash course in company building: we had successes, failures, raised funding and exited, all in a short space of time.”
