Nyca Partners is a fintech-focused venture capital firm dedicated exclusively to connecting innovative companies to the global financial system. Founded in 2014 by former Visa president Hans Morris, the firm combines deep financial services operating experience with a hands-on, collaborative approach, investing thematically across four verticals: Payments & Financial Transactions, Capital Formation & Risk, Digital Advice, and Financial Infrastructure. Nyca invests primarily in early-stage companies (seed through Series B) but supports founders from seed to scale, providing not only capital but strategic guidance and access to a proprietary network of over 100 Limited Partner Advisors — senior leaders from finance, technology, academia, and government — who actively assist portfolio companies in navigating the complex global financial system.
Notable quotes
“Nyca stands for New York and California and was intended as a bridge between those two worlds. Wall Street and the banking system have organized themselves to be much more responsive to technology — boards have become focused on it, and senior management is very focused on it, particularly at the larger institutions.”
“When we started Nyca nearly three years ago, the goal was to create a unique firm that was comprised of experienced financial services and technology professionals that could help companies succeed in the global financial system. By providing financial technology knowledge to early stage companies, we are able to offer a unique and much-needed service.”
“NYCA is delighted to collaborate with Beacon VC to bring leading fintech companies from around the world to Thailand. We meet innovators in all stages, early and growth, and we are eager to unearth the next disruptor in all the many corners of financial services. By connecting our knowledgeable investors and advisors with fintech entrepreneurs, we aim to create a symbiotic relationship that enables a more efficient and empowering financial system for all of us.”
