Investment Thesis

NCA operates on a unique two-sided marketplace philosophy that connects B2B startups directly with established corporate partners to de-risk innovation. Rather than traditional venture capital focused solely on startup growth, NCA believes in turning ‘validated demand into venture-scale outcomes’ by leveraging corporate partners as both investors and pilot customers. This approach addresses the startup’s need for early traction while solving corporates’ innovation challenges.
