NOEMA backs those who don’t fit the mold—because they’re the ones reshaping it.

We raise and deploy capital in service of ideas with soul—ideas that arrive as contradictions: poetic and pragmatic, rigorous and strange, rooted yet boundaryless. We partner with founders and creators who move fluidly between disciplines—art and commerce, intuition and execution, design and systems—and who are building things that look like nothing else.

We’re drawn to work that speaks in the language of architecture, objects, systems, and cultural memory. To projects shaped by lived experience rather than trend cycles. To efforts that don’t just enter markets, but reframe them—because they emerge from a deeper logic.

We don’t specialize in backing tech companies, and we’re not here to chase the next AI app or platform. That’s not our space. But we’re not averse to technology either. We engage with it when it serves the idea—when it’s embedded in a deeper logic or form. What matters to us is intention, clarity, and resonance—not whether something is “tech” or not.

We’ve spent decades learning how to match capital with intent—where money doesn’t just accelerate a project, but aligns with its deepest purpose.

NOEMA was born at the intersection of precision, invention, aesthetic devotion, and human-centered design.

Its founder has spent a lifetime building what didn’t yet exist. As Global Head of Design for the Apple Studio at Accenture/Fjord, he led work for some of the most exacting and high-stakes teams in the world—where design was infrastructure, and aesthetics were inseparable from systems.

Before that, he authored patented innovations in healthcare technology—bridging clinical complexity with human need. And beneath it all, there has always been a fierce, personal commitment to aesthetics as meaning: to architecture, to silence, to the sacred power of form. Not as luxury, but as language. Because design, at its best, does not decorate rather it reveals, supports, and dignifies what it means to be human.

Before founding NOEMA, our work shaped initiatives for some of the most influential and exacting organizations in the world—Apple, UBS, Silicon Valley Bank, Intesa Sanpaolo, Chanel, Hermès, Gucci, and Uniqlo. These were environments where design wasn’t decoration—it was responsibility. Where systems, aesthetics, and human needs had to cohere at the highest level.

But NOEMA wasn’t created to scale that past. It was created to transcend it—to bring that same level of clarity and craft to the edge of what’s next: to things that don’t yet have language, but already have form.

We are not consultants. We don’t sell templates, tweak decks, or follow playbooks. We align capital with clarity. We shape narrative, define structure, protect design integrity, and help founders and creators carry what they’re building through the murk, through the inflection points, and into the world.

NOEMA is early by design. We like ambiguity. We thrive in the moment before language exists for what you’re doing. And we’re good at helping it take form—coherently, powerfully, and without compromise.
