Fletcher Richman

Founder & CEO

"NFC saw our vision when we were just a small team in a co-working space in Boulder, and got behind us in the early days of our product. They helped with customer introductions, recruiting, and strategic decision making all the way through to our acquisition by Atlassian. I could not have asked for a better group of mentors and friends to join us on our adventure."

Verl Allen

Co-founder & CEO

I’ve worked with members of the NFC team for over ten years as both operators and investors, and couldn’t be more excited to have them as investors at Claravine. They bring the relationships, expertise and old school integrity that distinguish them from the increasingly crowded venture landscape. I highly recommend every entrepreneur include NFC on their short list of prospective investors.

Tony Lewis

CEO

I've worked with NFC for nearly 4 years and since their initial participation in our Seed Round, we've gone on to raise nearly $95m in additional capital. Despite all the new investors and board members around the table, the NFC partnership is still my go to team for the most important decisions I make as CEO. NFC was founded by prior operators, giving them a unique ability to provide counsel in all aspects of business that we've benefited greatly from over the years. Aumni is fortunate to have raised capital from so many great investing institutions and NFC is the standout when it comes to founder support and guidance. When facing our most difficult business decisions, I always reach out to Will and Richard.
