About Us

Nomad Impact Ventures is an e-commerce startup lab that builds for-profit impact businesses while we travel the world. We believe in living life to the fullest while also making a global impact. The majority of our profits are funneled into an impact fund that invests in mission-oriented companies focused on climate change, healthcare and education.

 

In 2018 we plan to live in Lake Tahoe, USA; Miami, USA; Medellin, Colombia; Lisbon, Portugal; Budapest, Hungary; Berlin, Germany; Bali, Indonesia; and Chiang Mai, Thailand.

 

In 2017 we lived in San Francisco, USA; Bali, Indonesia; Chiang Mai, Thailand; Taipei, Taiwan; Brisbane, Australia; Bangalore, India and the Florida Keys, USA.

 

Our Culture
HAVE AN UNDERDOG MENTALITY
We operate with an underdog mentality and value relentlessness, hard work and getting stuff done more than we value “geniuses”
BE DIFFERENT
We don’t care about how you’re “supposed to do things,” we do things our way
ALWAYS PUT THE COMPANY FIRST
We always make decisions in the best interest of our companies: we are open to criticism and let the best ideas win, not our own
DATA DRIVEN, NOT DATA OBSESSED
We make data driven decisions but we don’t let data hold us hostage – we value human intuition
OPERATE WITH INTEGRITY
We operate with honesty and integrity and we don’t take shortcuts
WE ARE EQUALS
We don’t believe in the concept of an “employee,’ we only refer to each other as partners or teammates
