Nicholas Ooi steps into new role as Investment Manager

|

September 4, 2026

This month, we're proud to announce the promotion of Nicholas Ooi (Nick) to Investment Manager, a well-earned step forward for one of the most talented and impactful members of Team Investible.

Nick is a familiar and trusted face across the ecosystem, regularly sharing his perspective on panels and in conversations with founders, operators and fellow investors, not just inside Investible's own network, but across the broader startup community. It's an extension of something he's spoken about before: his belief that the startup ecosystem thrives when everyone, founders, operators and investors alike, is willing to share what they've learned for the benefit of the whole community.

As an Investment Manager, Nick is active across the entire investment lifecycle, meeting founders, screening opportunities, guiding companies through diligence and into the investment committee, and supporting portfolio companies as they scale. Nick plays a pivotal role in our investment team, helping our companies prepare for their next raise, connecting them with our Club Investible members, and then extending that network further through introductions to Investible's global network of later-stage investors.

Since joining in 2023, Nick has reviewed over 1,800 companies and supported the investments in over 20 startups, including a few of our standout portfolio companies, such as Syenta, Apate.Ai, Veyor, Unseen, VXB Inc. and Grw AI.

Nick's first investment with Investible, Veyor, is a hallmark of his approach to deals: distinctly contrarian to mainstream VC. Rather than chasing obvious themes and crowded opportunities, he looks for niches underserved by technology, backing companies that modernise traditional industries.

"Nick has been excellent to work with, both through our initial pitch to Investible and as a partner since. He asks sharp questions that push us to consider different angles, and he's been genuinely helpful connecting us with other portfolio companies whenever we need a second opinion." - Stephen Rockett, CFO & Co-Founder of Veyor Digital

"Working with Nick has been a genuine pleasure. He's sharp and curious, he asks the questions that actually matter, and he's been a real partner to us throughout. He is thoughtful, responsive, and always looking for ways to help rather than just tick a box. This promotion is thoroughly deserved. Congratulations, Nick, we're glad to have you alongside us as we scale." - Prof. Dali Kaafar, CEO & Co-Founder of Apate.AI

Prior to Investible, Nick studied a combined Law and Commerce degree at UNSW and is a qualified lawyer. Nick spent close to four years in management consulting, advising ASX100 companies on corporate strategy and running commercial due diligence for global private equity funds on growth-stage software startups. Looking for a way to combine that analytical grounding with his long-standing passion for startups and technology, he moved into venture at a corporate VC fund, backing Seed to Series B companies across construction tech, proptech and supply chain tech in ANZ and North America. That path eventually led him to Investible in 2023.
