Marketplaces have intrinsic advantages: Strong Network Effects, Asset Light Scalability, and high Barriers to Entry - that's why they outperform other startups when they are successful. That said, they are complicated and difficult to build right and fail at a higher rate early. That's where Nomad Ventures comes in. We invest in and helps early stage marketplaces build right and grow from the very beginning so the likelihood of success is much higher.
