Jake Nice, principal at Nationwide Ventures, the corporate venturing unit of US-based insurer Nationwide, has left to help set up StoicLane, an investment holding company for finance, insurance, and real estate (FIRE) businesses.
Nice is executive vice-president of strategy and corporate development at StoicLane, which has serial fintech founder Al Goldstein as chairman and CEO.
Nice had worked together with Goldstein at Avant, an online lending platform, before Nationwide recruited him for its ventures unit in March 2018.
