Our take

NAO is a financial platform which strives to dismantle barriers to investing and to democratise wealth accumulation.

Pioneering a shift towards inclusivity, NAO offers a co-investment platform for a diverse community of digital-native investors. The company distinguishes itself from traditional investment firms and brokerages by curating a vast array of investment opportunities, reducing the minimum investment thresholds, and building a user-friendly digital interface.

NAO has recently closed a seed funding round led by Zeitgeist X Ventures. This will accelerate its product development and help to scale the company, allowing it to develop more investment opportunities and reach new customers who are traditionally unserved by investment firms. Through NAO's approach, private equity, venture capital, and custom capital market investments are no longer for the few.
