About the program

Program type
Description

At NBS Ventures, we look for inspirational teams who are developing solutions that could benefit Nationwide’s members and society as a whole. We’re based in London and Swindon, and invest globally in companies at Seed and Series A investment stage. Nationwide Building Society is a mutual organisation, which means we’re not owned by shareholders, but by our customers - we call them our members. We don’t just believe in the power of the collective. We embody it. We are a community of 15 million members and it’s why we invest in start-ups. We invest for the long term, supporting great companies to scale, then do things together that neither of us could alone.

Nationwide Building Society is a mutual organisation, which means we’re owned by our customers - we call them our members. We are a community of 16 million members and it’s why we invest in start-ups. We invest early and for the long term, supporting great companies, then doing things together that neither of us could alone. We do not invest to achieve a return, focusing instead on deployment and innovation, allowing us to have flexibility to work with inspirational teams.
