Bio
Will O’Donoghue
I had the pleasure of reporting directly to Nico at Btomorrow Ventures. Nico demonstrated one of the most brilliantly well-rounded management skill sets I’ve seen in my career – absolute clarity in communication, complete honesty, incredible work ethic and a balance between getting the job done OTIF and looking after his team members. Nico was the lead on many of the deals I worked on, and I have learnt an overwhelming amount from watching him ply his trade. Nico often juggled valuations, complex financial models, term sheet negotiations and relationship ownership across several deals at once, providing detailed and near-faultless results, all while providing immediate support to his team when required. I would be delighted to work for/with Nico again in future, and could not recommend him highly enough for senior VC/leadership roles.
