Founders sit at the centre. You choose your orbit.
Every Nebula founder is backed by three kinds of people: investors who write cheques, mentors who've been there, and service partners who do the work founders can't yet afford to do alone. Pick your seat.
We're not a directory. Every partner who joins is matched to founders who need exactly what they bring — nothing more, nothing less.
Three seats in the orbit.
Deal flow that's already done the hard part.
By the time a Nebula founder reaches you, we've validated the market, structured the cap table, built the financial model, and stress-tested the pitch. You see companies at demo day that have already survived our diligence — because we hold equity in them too. Our incentives are yours.
Day
desk
What you get
- First look at every cohort before demo day
- Sector and stage-matched introductions — never spray-and-pray
- Co-investment through structured syndicates
- Post-investment visibility: founders stay inside our system after the round
What we ask
- Genuine intent to deploy at pre-seed/seed
- Feedback on every deal you pass on — it makes the next cohort sharper
Your scars are someone's shortcut.
The most valuable thing a founder can borrow is a mistake you already made. We match mentors to specific founders with a specific problem — one that sits squarely inside what you've lived through. No open marketplace, no endless coffee chats, no ambiguity about why you're in the room.

How we protect the orbit.
Founders first.
Every match starts from a founder's need, never a partner's pitch.
No open marketplace.
We match by fit. Partners don't cold-approach founders, and founders don't get spammed.
No selling in the room.
Mentors and enablers earn business by being useful, not by pitching mentees.
Clear scope, always.
Every engagement has a defined start, shape, and end. Renewal is earned.
Universities and incubation centres.
We also run co-branded venture programs with academic institutions. If you run an incubation centre or campus E-cell, we should talk.
