About

Nathan Elstub brings over 25 years of hands-on experience as both a venture capital investor and entrepreneur across multiple cycles of high-growth companies, from founding and board roles through exits, rather than serving only as a financial investor. As Executive Chair of Nesta's Impact Investment Committee, he oversees direct venture investments that align with Nesta's innovation-for-social-good mission while applying traditional VC rigor to impact investing, giving him a system-level view across innovation, research, and venture investing.
