Investment profile
Investment thesis
Nex Cubed primarily invests in underrepresented founders, particularly Black, Female, and Latin founders, recognizing they receive a minimal share of venture funding. They aim to provide equitable opportunities, crucial support, resources, and capital through their accelerator programs. A unique aspect of their philosophy is the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into early-stage startups.
