Press release
nomad raises pre-seed round led by Draper Cygnus
London · 1 November 2026
We’re thrilled to announce that Draper Cygnus and Santiago Tello, CFA have invested in nomad, and that Santiago Tello, CFA is joining us as an advisor.
Their backing means we get nomad into the hands of more athletes like Alistair Brownlee OBE, roll out our beta and expand our clinical trials.
Wearables today watch your body. We’re building one that acts on it.
nomad started in a bedroom. Oliver Case was living with Dysautonomia and couldn’t find the support he needed, so he started building it himself. Santiago Denari came in with his mathematics background and built an algorithm to personalise how it responds, and together they turned it into a company. Two friends, 4 iterations of prototypes, and a lot of late nights later, nomad is now developing closed-loop wearables that help the body recover and perform.
Thank you Ignacio Plaza, Diego Gonzalez Bravo, the Draper Cygnus team and Santiago Tello, CFA for backing us.
