Nick Smoot
Founder and CEO
Nick, who grew up in small town America, founded Innovation Collective after building three tech startups in the real estate, business relationships and education sectors, and exiting three. Since then, he’s invested in eleven more. For Nick, Innovation Collective means people discovering themselves, the magic they possess, and unleashing this as a change agent in their world.
“When I watched a man who was living on the streets pitch his startup idea at one of our Story Summits, immediately before another venture-backed startup, I realized that we’ve succeeded in building a model that has better on-ramps to capitalism.”
