Why NosTerra Ventures?

Wow, 2020 was quite a year.  Certainly, the severity of the pandemic caught us off guard and continues to challenge society’s ability to respond. But, it was not just the pandemic. It was the challenges to truth, the rise of autocratic powers, the fragility of our environment, and the instability of all things basic to us. It was the bold reality of our inequalities. It was also a time for deep connections with family, a time for the world to be on one team, a time to reflect on our lives, a time to re-assess what is meaningful, and a time to reflect on “why.”

So why NosTerra Ventures?  When it gets down to it, the state of the world that I leave my children is vital to me.   Don’t worry; I like to have fun, go crazy, and occasionally do some pretty stupid things, but leaving a better world is a driving force.  There are many ways to make an impact, but the foundation of NosTerra Ventures is built on the belief in people, specifically entrepreneurs, and their ability to create change. 

Entrepreneurs have the inherent tenacity and resiliency to challenge the incumbents, solving problems in a way never dreamed possible.   Core to NosTerra Ventures is the belief in community and the ability to harness the inherent good in people to help foster those changes. 

NosTerra Ventures focuses on contributing to the solutions of critical Grand Challenges through a combination of entrepreneurs in business, education, democracy, and science.  We can harness insight and energy to create solutions by building a structure that supports this community of leaders and entrepreneurs. By identifying those entrepreneurs, supporting them, and helping them hone and execute their vision, we will make a better world.  A world that resets technology solutions, empowers truth, transforms democracy, educates all, and builds on the concept of one team.  I believe these elements are a key part of what is needed in our world today.

I invite you to join NosTerra Ventures. Please help us to create an environment that spurs leadership for our children’s world.  Help identify and enable the paradigms that will lead to efficient, inspiring solutions.  We look forward to working together.
