Principal, Link Ventures

About

Nelson Mills was homeschooled while growing up on a sailboat in the Caribbean, which he credits with making him comfortable with ambiguity and entrepreneurial-style risk-taking from an early age. He combines an engineering and manufacturing background, including leading hull development at Pure Watercraft, with venture roles at Link Ventures, an uncommon mix of deep technical and build experience with early-stage investing.
