About NextView Ventures
NextView Ventures was founded in 2010 by Rob Go, Lee Hower, and David Beisel as a seed-stage venture capital firm focused on the 'everyday economy.' The firm invests in companies that are transforming how people work, manage their health, handle money, and live their daily lives. NextView operates with a conviction-driven approach where any partner can lead investments, fostering a collaborative decision-making culture. The firm has built a reputation for being founder-friendly and providing hands-on support to entrepreneurs during the critical early stages of company building. Notable investments include thredUP, the online consignment marketplace that went public in 2021, and Dia&Co, a personal styling service. The team actively engages with the startup ecosystem through thought leadership, including their popular newsletter and blog content. NextView typically invests $500K to $1M in initial rounds and reserves significant capital for follow-on investments in their most successful portfolio companies.
