The Nucleus Network
Unlocking the Power of Connections
Founded by @michaelaxman @jakefleshner
📍LA and NYC
Founders from all over Miami gathered for an afternoon of competition, conversation, and tons of talk about AI.
We teamed up with our good friends at @thenucleusnetwork Network to bring founders together so they could swap stories about what they’re building and play padel, all with the Miami skyline in the background.
Sometimes the best connections happen between sets.
Thanks to everyone who came out. What networking event should we throw next?

The most underrated skill in business is making good intros.
Before @thenucleusnetwork existed, there was just a simple observation:
founders needed customers. investors needed deal flow. operators needed their next move.
The right introduction solved all three.
That insight became the foundation of everything we've built.
One high-quality intro and people don't forget.
10,000 later and counting.

Exciting Milestone Update
We just crossed $50M deployed into 25 companies.
This wasn’t one moment. It was reps. 300+ founder conversations a month and a growing investor network. We put warm introductions first.
Thank you to our amazing investor community, portfolio company founders and team for bringing this to life!
@thenucleusnetwork x @rhoplatform Founder Dinner. NYC.
16 founders. Pre-seed to Series A.

2.5 years ago we made our first warm introduction through @thenucleusnetwork.
Introducing our friends to our friends has resulted in so much. Co-founders. A husband and wife. Lead investors. Advisory board members and so much more.
Thank you for believing in us and being part of this journey.
We are just getting started.
Next up: 100,000+ warm introduction

We love backgammon.
Where should we host the next tournament? WHO WANTS TO PLAY?! 🙌
