Hi, I'm Nick. I'm a partner at Union Square Ventures where I've been investing in and supporting startups since 2012.
I grew up in Brooklyn and now split time between Boston, where I live with my wife and two teenage kids, and NYC where USV is. I'm a Red Sox fan now (it's complicated). I love baseball, boats, old cars, and building pretty much anything.
I've always been a hacker and tinkerer, and have always been fascinated by the connection between user experience, design and infrastructure -- both in the physical and digital worlds.
