About
Darja Nelson began her career as a Neuroscience research and quickly moved into the world of commercialisation of deep tech IP from NZ research institutes & universities. An experienced commercialisation manager she was bitten by the start-up bug as she lead the spin out of a revolutionary sensing technology from Plant & Food Research. This fuelled a passion for helping to create and grow early-stage start-ups and their leaders and drove her into the world of early stage investment. Darja clearly has the sharpest wit in the office.
