Dear Friends,

I’ve dreamt of being able to invest in transformative tech companies since our Transformative Technology Conference in 2015.  So…I am excited to share a significant milestone!!!!

I’m thrilled to announce the official closing of Niremia Collective Fund I at $22.5 million! This pioneering fund is focused on investing in startups transforming mental health and wellbeing through technology.

My co-founder Naoko Okumoto and I started Niremia to empower humans to build a better world by reaching greater possibilities in human wellbeing. We believe the global crises in mental health, aging, and more can be radically improved through innovation.

Backed by visionary corporate and institutional investors from Japan and the US, Niremia Fund I has already invested in 12 leading startups like VR wellness platform TRIPP and mental health gaming company DeepWell.

As veterans in consumer tech and gaming, Naoko and I take a bold view on human potential. We’re excited to support founders turning that possibility into reality.

This fund matters because global wellbeing is a $8.5 trillion market by 2027. It matters because we urgently need new solutions. And it matters because we believe technology can empower people to thrive.

If you’d like to learn more about Niremia Collective and our thesis in the era of AI and human intelligence, get in touch here. 

Much love,
Nichol
