General Partner, New Stack Ventures

About

Nick Moran retired from corporate America at 32 after leading a 30-person R&D team to commercialize a handheld water-testing device, then used that early retirement to reinvent himself as an angel investor and ultimately a full-time VC with deep operator experience in industrial hardware and IoT. He launched one of the first VC podcasts, The Full Ratchet, as a deliberate leverage engine to build a global network, rapidly level up his VC knowledge through expert guests, and create zero-marginal-cost deal flow and LP relationships.
