An operator-led investment firm focused on opportunities in digital media in emerging markets.
NBM is a specialized firm that successfully pioneered global digital-media investing over the last decade, backing successes like IDN Media in Indonesia, Pocket Aces in India, TheNewsLens in Taiwan and Capital Digital in Mexico. Its first venture fund, launched in 2015, consistently ranks in the top quartile of media and global venture funds.
