Nour Alnuaimi shared thisAs a former founder, one of the things I underestimated early on was how much the type of investor matters. Not just capital, but how they show up every day. It’s something I’ve become a lot more intentional about now that I’m back on the other side of the table. It’s also been great investing alongside other former founders - people who’ve taken the same risks and bring that into how we partner with companies. If you’re building, feel free to reach out: Ben, Matthieu, Inna, Shim, Sixtine, Inès-Rose.

Nour Alnuaimi shared thisSome of the things that felt "too edgy" in Web3 a few years ago are now mainstream. And that's one of the reasons why I love the venture ecosystem, watching ideas move from improbable to inevitable. They're even being adopted by some of the biggest banks, telcos and insurance companies. Payments are a good example. We've done a lot at the intersection of TradFi and DeFi, but we've barely scratched the surface. The shift isn't just technical, it's who the user is. There's a world, not too far away, where agents pay agents. Enterprise rails will continue to evolve alongside compliance layers. And tokenized real-world assets are expanding rapidly. My last one for 2026, here are my Web3 predictions: https://lnkd.in/eERpuZFw

Nour Alnuaimi shared thisWhere is fintech heading this year? While it hasn’t been the busiest vertical in venture, it’s far from lacking in opportunity. I expect the most interesting traction this year to come from companies building at or near the infrastructure layer. In insurance, the operational core is finally opening up. Buyers want automation where the economics live: claims, underwriting, servicing. That’s where startups can now integrate directly and start moving both loss and expense ratios. In fintech credit, the reset is already underway. Live, real-time data makes it possible to underwrite continuously and build materially better loan books than incumbents, at scale. Perhaps growth and default rates no longer have to trade off. My prediction: 2026 will bring a quieter wave of infrastructure-like businesses fixing very specific P&L problems. Here are my full predictions, alongside Benjamin Deplus's on BREEGA's view on European fintech: https://lnkd.in/eFdNp9aE Happy New Year!

Nour Alnuaimi shared thisI invested in marketplaces. I built one. And I’m excited for what gets built next. The old theory was that marketplaces were extremely expensive until they scale, and then the flywheel kicks in. In reality, they were expensive at the start, and many stayed expensive to scale. I’m convinced AI will remove a lot of that friction and fix the workflows that made v1.0 so hard: manual onboarding, KYC/AML, reconciliations, and more. The formula changes, and AI-native marketplaces will unlock liquidity faster and cheaper. My prediction: AI-native marketplaces will be some of the biggest winners in Europe. Here’s my full 2026 prediction for AI + marketplaces, along with the broader AI predictions from the BREEGA team. https://lnkd.in/eJvPjidP

Nour Alnuaimi shared thisAs someone who only discovered snow as an adult, I still get ridiculously excited every time I head somewhere it’s actually snowing. And the forecast is right on cue for Slush. Looking forward to new connections, reconnecting with friends in the ecosystem, and yes… the snow ❄️ . See you soon! Come meet Cléa DOSNE and me there.

Nour Alnuaimi shared thisYesterday was my first panel back as an investor since returning to VC and couldn't have started with a better one! Really enjoyed the conversation with Devin Kohli at Outward VC and Alex Reed at Mountside Ventures on how the funding landscape has evolved. We discussed everything from how defensibility is being redefined in the AI era to how the bar for Series A has shifted. Ultimately, one of the biggest learnings that I bring from my founder days is the importance of building relationships between founders and investors early. Many thanks to the Fintech Fringe team for organizing a fantastic event and bringing fintech founders and investors together. Calypso Harland, onwards and upwards!

Nour Alnuaimi shared thisThis is one I'm especially excited about. As a former founder (not that long ago!), I’m looking forward to meeting the women in the arena at Playfair's Female Founder Office Hours later this month. If you’re a female founder looking to connect with investors for pitching or mentoring, applications close this Thursday, 9th October. Register here: https://lnkd.in/dy99kNYv Looking forward to the event!

Nour Alnuaimi shared thisA few months into joining BREEGA and already getting to celebrate a huge milestone like this one. Massive congrats to the entire Gojob team on the €120M strategic investment from PERSOL APAC! Congrats also to Ben Marrel and team for the 10-year journey as investors, we've officially exited the company. Excited to watch Gojob scale in its next chapter!

Nour Alnuaimi reacted on thisNour Alnuaimi reacted on thisOn June 10, I'm joining the jury for the Sharp Take pitches at Consumer tech day during London Tech Week. TRMNL4, Snap Inc., Flyer One Ventures, True. , and Oyster® are bringing the consumer ecosystem together for a half-day mini-conference. On stage, founders from the Traction Builder 3.0 cohort ($21M+ combined ARR) will pitch live for up to $20K in Snapchat credits. Beyond the pitches, expect an off-script live podcast and a '70s/'80s retro afterparty with arcade cabinets and vinyl on the turntables. If you’re building across consumer AI, agents, gaming, wearables, apps, and marketplaces, this is the room to be in London. 📍 London | 4pm to 10pm 🎫 RSVP in the comments! BREEGA

Nour Alnuaimi reacted on thisNour Alnuaimi reacted on thisProud to announce our fourth acquisition of 2026 — Albery Tyson joins the Dwelly family! 250 fully managed homes across the East Midlands, a fantastic local reputation, and a team that has spent years doing things the right way. Their portfolio will integrate with SBK Lettings in Market Harborough, which makes our Midlands presence even stronger. Lots of agency owners have been asking what working with Dwelly really looks like. We aim to give brilliant people better tools, better technology and better support, so they can keep doing what they do best. The same will happen here. Marcus Ainsworth, huge respect for what you have built. Thank you for the trust you have placed in us, it genuinely means everything. We are excited for what comes next. And we are just getting started!

Nour Alnuaimi liked thisIn a world oscillating between AI hope and uncertainty, I've found myself turning to arts and culture even more as an anchor & a reminder of what makes us human. That's why my work as a Board Member and Treasurer at Mosaic Rooms feels less like a commitment and more like a lifeline. It's a pocket of hope and genuine humanity that grounds and revitalises me for everything else I do. I couldn't be prouder of what Mosaic Rooms stands for. As London's leading contemporary arts space dedicated to Arab culture, it holds a special place in my heart, not just professionally, but personally. As an Arab woman, spaces that centre our stories, our artists and our voices with this level of care and rigour are rare and precious. We are now entering an exciting new chapter. In 2025, Mosaic Rooms became an independent charity, with a refurbished home and a renewed mission. To sustain and grow this next phase, we're building out our fundraising function and we're looking for an exceptional 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 to lead that work. This is a 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩-𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐬, not just income generation. You'll design and deliver the fundraising strategy from scratch, across trusts and foundations, public funding, individual giving and corporate philanthropy, working closely with our Director and Board. If you have 5+ years of fundraising experience in the arts or cultural sector, a strong network, and a genuine connection to what Mosaic Rooms stands for, I'd love for you to apply, or share with someone who should. And to everyone celebrating, 𝐄𝐢𝐝 𝐌𝐮𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐤 🐑 .

Nour Alnuaimi liked thisNour Alnuaimi liked thisŌURA filed confidentially for IPO this week, and while the numbers making the rounds are impressive enough (around $1B in 2025 revenue, roughly 5 million paid subscribers, a valuation more than doubled to $11B in under two years), I've been thinking about Oura's business model. On the surface it is pretty straightforward: you buy a $349 ring, pay $5.99 a month for your health insights, and if Oura is doing its job, you keep paying, which apparently 80% of members do after their first year! At $5.99/month, the subscription revenue alone isn't transformative, but that 80% 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 is! If we then look at what they've been investing in it gets even more interesting: - a metabolic health company (Veri); - an enterprise software firm (Sparta Science); - a biometric identity and payments startup (Proxy); - and a gesture recognition company (Doublepoint). None of those make obvious sense for a ring company, but all of them make perfect sense for a health data platform that happens to sell rings. Add to this their recent announcement last February around developing their own proprietary LLM, and specifically the decision to focus it entirely on women's health (covering early menstrual cycles through menopause) & the story looks evern more interesting! The model runs on Oura's own servers, conversations aren't shared or sold, and it was built in partnership with a privacy-focused AI company. None of those choices are accidental. For a long time, Oura's core user was a specific type of person: an athlete, a biohacker, someone already fluent in HRV and sleep stages, predominantly male and already health-motivated. That's a real market, but it has a ceiling. It appears though that Oura has been winning young women at a disproportionate rate, and the company has leaned into that. Women's health data has been chronically underrepresented in clinical research and health technology, and the consequences of that are well documented. The wearables market largely replicated that gap, with most products designed around male physiology and validated against male cohorts. A ring that someone wears continuously across years of their life, capturing longitudinal data across reproductive health milestones that no clinical study has tracked at this scale, is genuinely novel. And if you're building the trusted platform for that data, with a privacy architecture (that women have good historical reasons to care about), you start to accumulate an asset that may be very difficult for a late entrant to replicate. Oura's deliberate choice to keep the AI on its own infrastructure, to not monetize the conversations, and to build specifically for a demographic that has been burned by health data misuse before is a 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲, and trust in health is slow to build and slow to transfer. #healthtech #wearables #womenshealth #healthtechofferings #femtech

Nour Alnuaimi liked thisNour Alnuaimi liked thisAfter a few weeks of secret shopping around Virgin Active clubs, I can finally admit I’ve joined as Commercial Director. Delighted to be part of a team building premium wellness at scale. With a ££M M investment programme across the estate, and a few ideas about how to add some HP to the commercial engine, it’s go time. Early signs are good. The clubs are brilliant. The teams are sharp and commercially grounded. The B2B and partnerships opportunity looks significant: if you’re working in corporate wellness, employee benefits or brand partnerships, let’s talk! And yes, I have signed up as a member. Try Reformer, boxing and sound bath! Below is the Nottingham club, built in a former railway station, including pool-in-a-platform!

Nour Alnuaimi reacted on thisNour Alnuaimi reacted on thisIf you’re a Solo Founder in London, we’re building something really special for you 👇 Anyone who’s founded solo 🙋 knows it’s living life on hard mode. But what you may not realise is just how many exceptional builders in London are doing the exact same thing. And now with AI, highly determined individuals have the opportunity to really change the rules of the game. But one critical piece is missing. London’s ecosystem was never built to support solo founders. Too many are still building in isolation - and it’s so freaking hard without the network, resources, feedback loops, and support systems that make all the difference when starting out. That’s why Mansi and I are launching the Solo Founder Fellowship 🚀 a community built to bring together the very best network, resources, and support for ambitious solo founders building in London. We’ll provide: 💰 Free AI tokens and SaaS credits to help develop your product 🤝 Regular socials with fellows as ambitious and unhinged as you are 🧠 AMAs with some of Europe’s most successful solo founders 📈 Warm intros + Demo Days with 50+ leading VCs 🙋 Hands-on support to land early customers / GTM advice ⚡ Expert-led sessions implementing AI agents into your flows & product 💬 Private Slack for intros, advice, product feedback & fundraising help We're still putting the pieces together and connecting with world-class partners as we go. But we'd rather start bringing together early fellows to help us shape it ❤️ If you’re going solo and are early on your journey, come build with us!! Comment “SFF” and I’ll send over details to join 💪 #solofounders #founder #startups #VC #solopreneurs
