Tem Tumurbat co-founded Nomadic Venture Partners as a minority-owned, Mongolian-immigrant-founded climate tech VC that targets big, important and unsexy sectors like mining, manufacturing, and transportation that are major emissions sources but often overlooked by typical VCs. He brings an unusually deep full-stack mining background for a VC, having started as a mining engineer at Newmont Mining before becoming an investment professional at Resource Capital Funds where he managed mining investments and completed M&A that returned hundreds of millions of dollars to investors.

Nomadic Venture Partners is a minority-owned, Mongolian-immigrant–founded climate tech VC with GPs in Denver and Chicago that focuses exclusively on decarbonizing foundational heavy industries—mining, manufacturing, and heavy/industrial transportation—leveraging their team's real mining and industrial operating experience including co-founder Tem Tumurbat's background as a mining engineer at Newmont and AngloGold Ashanti. They act as technical lead investors in $0.5M–$4M pre-seed/seed rounds despite smaller checks, running strategy sessions and shaping business plans while serving as a programmatic convener for industrial climate tech through their Industrial Climate Tech Summit and Pilot Pathway Program that bridges early-stage startups with large mining and manufacturing incumbents.
