Who We Are

The startup advisor with an operator's instinct.

Most advisors give you a deck and a handshake. Nob Ventures gives you a partner who's been in the room—building revenue engines, negotiating partnerships, and pressure-testing strategy from the inside out.

Founded by Hilary Malecha out of Cambridge's most prolific startup ecosystem, Nob Ventures works shoulder-to-shoulder with founders at the critical inflection points where good companies become great ones.

We bring the pattern recognition of a venture-backed operator, the relationships of a decade in the Boston tech community, and the urgency of a founder who understands that time is your scarcest resource.

High-impact advisory for founders who are building, not browsing.

Strategic Partnerships
Identifying, structuring, and closing the partnerships that unlock distribution, credibility, and compounding growth. We bring the rolodex and the reps.
Go-to-Market
From first revenue to repeatable motion. We help you find product-market fit faster, build the right sales infrastructure, and create demand that converts.
Revenue Operations
Building the systems, processes, and team structures that turn early traction into scalable growth—with the data discipline to know what's working.
Fundraise Strategy
Narrative sharpening, investor targeting, and pitch preparation that gets you in the right rooms and helps you command the terms you deserve.
Business Development
Enterprise pipeline development, channel strategy, and the relationship-led selling approach that wins in competitive B2B markets.

Ongoing strategic counsel as a board advisor or operating partner, bringing pattern recognition from years inside Cambridge's venture-backed startup ecosystem.
How We Work

Time flies when you're getting results.

01
Diagnose

We start with a deep audit of your business—product, market, team, and trajectory. No templates. We find the real bottleneck, not the obvious one.

02
Design

We co-create a growth roadmap built for your specific stage, market, and ambition. Clear priorities, measurable milestones, no fluff.

03
Deliver

We roll up our sleeves. Whether it's making introductions, closing a partnership, or restructuring your pipeline—we execute alongside you.
