Investing in the next
generation of technology
Through NJF Capital, the venture investment arm of NJF Holdings, Nicole Junkermann has built a portfolio of more than forty companies across fintech, artificial intelligence, deep technology and life sciences.
The firm focuses primarily on early-stage investments in companies developing foundational technologies that shape markets rather than simply participating in them.

Building the future
of global sport
Nicole Junkermann began her career in sport and media and remains an active investor in the sector.
Through Gameday by NJF Holdings, the group’s sports investment platform, she backs leagues, media platforms and technology companies shaping the next era of global sport.
Investments include Lega Volley Femminile, Italy’s leading professional women’s volleyball league, and CayoTV, a football streaming and digital distribution platform.
The platform reflects a broader investment thesis that sport is undergoing structural transformation as digital distribution, media innovation and new ownership models reshape the global sports economy.
“Sport isn’t just entertainment – it’s one of the last arenas where effort still matters more than hype. That’s what I invest in: values that can’t be replaced by an algorithm.”
The Human Code
The Human Code is the investment philosophy guiding Nicole Junkermann’s work.
It prioritises judgement over hype, responsibility over speed, and long-term human consequence over short term gain.
At a time when technological acceleration is reshaping institutions, the focus is on building resilient companies, trusted partnerships and systems that strengthen the relationship between technology and society.
“Progress only matters if it is human led and human shaped.”
