Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Pop Venture
From just an idea, Nicole Loftus built a company that disrupted a $20 billion-dollar industry and became #8 on the Inc. 500 list of fastest growing companies. Nicole saw the positive impact that growing, well-funded businesses have on a community and yet she found the funding system to be inadequate. Nicole decided to change the game.
After years of hard work and millions spent, Nicole’s vision for a better system is now a reality. Pop Venture is a fund that gives everyone access to investing in entrepreneurs, fueling innovations and upskilling jobs.
Pop Venture activates millions of first-time investors, creating a new source of capital. Pop Venture gives founders equal access to funding regardless of their location, gender or race. Pop Venture is an inclusive, full participation system.
To operate the Pop Venture Funds, Nicole and the Pop team built the first founder- driven, comprehensive diligence software that will save entrepreneurs time, protect their proprietary information and improve chances of raising capital by 85%.
Nicole believes Pop Venture is how we recover economically and emotionally as a united country, creating solutions, equality and the renewed American Dream.
