About this Event

StartingBlock's Lunch & Learn: Investor Series.

A monthly event featuring top investors from Wisconsin who specialize in startup investments. Each session provides a comprehensive overview of the investor's company philosophy, areas of investment interest, and the rationale behind their past and present startup investments. Attendees, primarily founders, will gain valuable insights into the current deployment of funds and the key criteria these investors look for in potential investments. Additionally, the investors will offer practical advice on how startups can best prepare for meetings with them. This series includes interactive Q&A sessions and valuable networking opportunities.


This month features Carrie Thome, Managing Partner at NVNG.

Carrie Thome is a seasoned executive and Board Member with decades of experience in delivering top-quartile investment results. She co-founded NVNG in late 2019 with the mission to bring venture capital to those interested in the asset class. In her former role of Chief Investment Officer for the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF), Carrie oversaw management of a $3B investment portfolio, managing a team of seven financial professionals. In 2017 and 2016, she was named the 26th and 18th most powerful institutional investor in the world by Chief Investment Officer. Investors ranked asset owners by five factors: innovation, collaboration, talent development, fund size and tenure.

NVNG was born from decades of experience in institutional investing overseeing multi-billion portfolios. This experience provided the understanding that the venture capital asset class is uniquely positioned to drive growth and innovation for a wide range of investors. NVNG is focused on providing returns, access and opportunity in the venture space. Our long-time experience and diverse set of talents span decades of work in the institutional investment, technology transfer, venture capital, and startup company industries. We operate as a disciplined guide and experienced connector intent on serving an engaged and mutually beneficial community of active investors, venture capital funds, and underlying portfolio companies.
