Nameless Ventures

Nameless Ventures is a Chicago-based venture capital firm founded in 2017. Focused on early-stage investments, the firm actively seeks out opportunities across high-tech, enterprise software, and consumer-focused sectors. Its portfolio includes 17 companies, with notable investments in Kin, a rapidly growing insurtech unicorn, as well as PechaKucha and Nutrisense. While it has yet to make new investments in 2024, Nameless Ventures has backed ventures in sectors such as media services, healthcare, and fintech. The firm predominantly invests in the U.S., with a small footprint in Canada. Its strategy centers on seed and Series A rounds, with a preference for high-potential startups at early stages of revenue generation. Despite an average check size ranging between $2 million and $5 million, Nameless Ventures doesn’t always lead investment rounds, often partnering with co-investors like Techstars and QED Investors. Led by industry veterans Tom Firestine, Pavel Sokolovsky, and Erik Hubbard, Nameless Ventures provides a hands-on approach to its portfolio companies, leveraging expertise in marketing, product design, and supply chain management. The team is small but experienced, drawing from backgrounds in scaling consumer brands and cutting-edge tech solutions. Founders looking to connect should aim for a direct approach, highlighting strong product-market fit and scalability potential​.
