NICHOLAS is the pioneering work of technology entrepreneur David Nicholas.
David’s career began at the most fundamental level of commerce — door-to-door sales — where discipline, resilience and a deep understanding of human behaviour were forged early.
These formative years laid the foundation for a career defined by adaptability, strategic thinking and execution at scale.
His trajectory progressed through marketing, e-commerce, technology and software, where he played instrumental roles in building and operating multiple high-performance businesses. Across these ventures, David developed a reputation as a strategic operator with a global mindset, capable of translating vision into sustainable commercial outcomes.
Through hands-on leadership and long-term thinking, he has established and overseen a portfolio of ventures spanning digital platforms, emerging technologies, and advisory mandates — each united by a focus on quality, clarity and enduring value creation.
David now serves as Founder and Chairman across the Nicholas platform, including Nicholas Ventures, Nicholas Capital and Nicholas Advisory, guiding strategy, capital allocation and partnership alignment.
Beyond titles and ventures, David’s work is driven by curiosity, insight and an unwavering commitment to building lasting value. His approach prioritises substance over noise, relationships over transactions and long-term impact over short-term gain — principles that continue to define the Nicholas philosophy.
We specialize in identifying, funding and growing innovative and internationally-relevant companies across a wide range of categories.
