Connecting active investors and curated health and nutrition companies.
We facilitate and foster curated deal flow through a combination of events, databases, and year-round networking opportunities.
Our community includes:
Early stage and high-growth presenting companies representing all facets of the industry, including ingredient technologies, natural, organic and functional foods, foodtech, the microbiome, supplements, personal care and related technology solutions.
Active health and nutrition focused investors (angel investors, family offices, venture capital, private equity, corporate investors, debt providers and others).
Selection Committee Members with industry expertise, many of whom are active angel investors.
Engaged service provider sponsors.
We elevate diverse founders and dedicate content on diversity and inclusion at our events, providing a year-round community platform while fostering meaningful connections.
Our facilitation of presenter and investor engagement consists of:
Selection Process – The Selection Committee is comprised of several angel investors who review and select companies to present at NCN events.
Presenting Company “Wish Lists” – In advance of each meeting, presenters identify a "wish list" of investors who they are interested in meeting with, which is handed out at the event.
NCN Events – Investors in attendance will have the opportunity to interact with presenters in person.
NCN Cornerstone (Annual Members) – NCN Cornerstone investors are dedicated participants at multiple investor meetings throughout the year. Even if they are unable to attend a specific meeting, they still receive access to company presentations and business plans. New Cornerstones are added regularly and will also have access to your materials even after you have presented.
Other Investors – The NCN team is actively engaged with investors in the industry and will introduce NCN alumni to these investors, whether or not they have previously attended an NCN Investor meeting. These "friends" of NCN form a vital network, and we continuously maintain an updated list of those actively involved.
Follow-Up Requests – The NCN team will facilitate investor introduction requests.
NCN Alumni Benefits – Presenters can provide updates throughout the year, which are searchable by investors and strategic partners.
Our Events
All 2024 in-person events will also give our community the ability to access event materials via our digital platform.
Event formats may change given local health and safety guidelines.
