What We Offer
NDA members are technologists, startup founders (exited and currently active), corporate and non-profit executives, and professionals from a variety of fields. While collectively we are generalist investors, being in the DC area we do have deep networks and expertise in cybersecurity, compliance, defense/intelligence, healthcare, and financial services across B2B and enterprise software.
More than simply a one-time cash infusion, New Dominion has valuable networks and vast business operating and transaction experience. One of our core objectives is supporting startups as they move from Seed to Series A (or deciding that subsequent venture capital is not necessary) and we assist founders in:
Refining GTM and enterprise sales approaches for public and private sector strategies.
Building relationships with potential customers and partners.
Navigating compliance and regulatory requirements.
Making key hires across engineering, sales, and operations.
Securing follow-on financing.
Setting up governance and oversight.
Our Investment Approach
We run a structured investment process, and we strive for efficiency, transparency and a productive experience for founders. Our process emphasizes a high degree of interaction between founders and our members; open dialogue, reciprocal learning and relationship-building are key features. We want to understand your business deeply, and we want you to know us, before we embark on a long-term relationship.
Timeline: 4-8 weeks from initial meeting to investment decision.
Structure: Regular screening meetings, dinners and due diligence where founders engage NDA members. We prioritize meaningful interaction over transactional diligence.
Check Size: Initial checks of $350K - $500K through dedicated SPVs (special purpose vehicles).
Investment Role: We can lead early seed rounds and regularly participate in follow-on financings. We occasionally take Board Director or Observer seats when the fit is right.
