Leadership Profile

Dora Nikolaus is the operational heartbeat and strategic co-architect of Trust Capital Limited. Born in Slovenia and now leading from our headquarters in Taiwan, Dora embodies the global, borderless vision of modern finance. With a decade of experience since co-founding the firm in 2016, she has been instrumental in transforming Trust Capital from a startup into a respected equity funding partner.

As Managing Director, Dora oversees the firm’s daily operations, ensures seamless execution of our funding pipeline, and personally stewards the relationship between our founders and investors. Her leadership is defined by a rare blend of meticulous attention to detail and genuine passion for entrepreneurial stories. She believes that behind every successful deal is a relationship built on clarity, respect, and shared ambition.

Role & Philosophy

Dora’s primary mandate is Founder Success. She ensures that once a project passes our rigorous diligence, the partnership phase is smooth, supportive, and strategically aligned. She bridges the gap between visionary entrepreneurs and the investors in our network, translating potential into actionable growth plans.

Her philosophy is simple: "Funding is not a transaction; it's the beginning of a shared journey." She is deeply committed to ensuring that every founder feels heard, supported, and empowered—not just funded.

Personal Insight

"I was drawn to co-found Trust Capital because I saw a gap. Too many brilliant ideas lacked not just capital, but the right kind of partner. My role is to be that partner—to ensure that from the first meeting to the boardroom, our founders feel they have an advocate who understands both their ambition and their challenges. We operate with a global mindset because innovation knows no borders, and neither should strategic capital."
