Who We Are
Est. 2023
Nicholson Ventures Group (NVG) is privately-owned and created with a clear vision: to build and grow businesses that challenge the norm, while giving back to the communities that shape us. Opened in 2023, to govern our pre-established brands, we’ve focused on creating impact through strategic investments in our own ventures and supporting community values. As a small, family-owned company, we take a hands-on approach to everything we do.
Our Core Principals
Innovation First

Giving Back Matters
We prioritize giving back, dedicating our time and expertise to support the communities and non-profits that align with our values. Success is measured by the impact we make together.
We’ve been told ‘you can’t’ more times than we can count—each time, we’ve hit back 10x harder.
At NVG, every ‘no’ fuels our next big move. Doubt us? Watch us prove you wrong.
