Nelson Boone Schubart serves as Managing Partner at Company Ventures and Head of Investments at Grand Central Tech, where he connects venture capital with a founder residency program in a Manhattan tech campus. He focuses on transformational startups in data infrastructure, automation, and AI with typical check sizes of $500K–$3M, and maintains an accessible approach where founders can submit decks directly online and reach him through open DMs.

• Deep interest in digital health and modernizing the medical industry, particularly platforms that integrate physical and digital care or address specific gaps like nutrition and fertility. He pointed to SeasonHealth as a prime example of using data to power food-as-medicine for at-risk populations.
• A strong champion of the New York City tech ecosystem and the value of in-person community. He frequently emphasizes the energy found in the Company Ventures offices, suggesting that being back in a shared physical space creates serendipity and ecosystem vibes that remote work lacks.
• Enthusiasm for B2B tools and infrastructure that allow businesses to run more efficiently and equitably. He highlighted ChartHop as a standout product for people analytics that helps companies operate smarter, noting that the product impressed him even while it was still in beta.
• Support for consumer-facing brands that reinvent traditional sectors like real estate and hospitality through better design and technology. He praised the founder of Common for recognizing the chance to build a strong consumer brand within the co-living space which previously lacked one.
• Focus on the human side of the founder journey and the broader societal impact of technology. He expressed appreciation for conversations about maintaining an identity outside of work and has shared data highlighting economic disparities, such as unemployment rates affecting specific demographics differently.
