Norio Ventures is evolving. Come back September 1st to see where we’re headed.
From advisory roots to something bigger—our next chapter is almost here.
ABOUT
Norio Ventures is built to back what’s next—and who’s building it.
For now, we’re still in stealth. But if you’re building at the edge of what's possible, you're in the right place.
I'm Pete Townsend. Over the past several years, I’ve invested in 40+ early-stage startups through Techstars Web3 and as an angel investor. I continue to support those founders as they build across crypto, blockchain, AI, and the next version of the internet.
I've held board leadership roles in regulated crypto firms since 2019 and worked at the intersection of institutional finance and emerging tech for nearly three decades. What drives me now is simple: finding visionary founders early, and backing them with speed and conviction.
Norio Ventures is the continuation of a journey that started in 2016—now focused fully on early-stage investing. It's the next step forward in a long-standing mission.
Come back September 1st to see what we’re building.
