Nicola is an entrepreneur, investor, and board chair, with a proven track record of founding, co-founding, and investing in multiple companies. Her ongoing success has been built on managing risk and failure (where you truly grow) and hiring or investing in world class people and ideas.

Passionate about mentoring, Nicola is dedicated to supporting female-led businesses and entrepreneurs, helping them to grow, think bigger, and embrace failure as a learning opportunity and stepping stone to greater success.

2024 was the year that Impactiv came to life to support founders with capital investment, grant funding, cashflow management and recruitment of key people.

Nicola has been recognized as one of Smart Company's Eight Entrepreneurs to Watch, a Top 100 Franchisor, a Franchise Women of the Year finalist, and a founding member of the Asia Pacific EY Entrepreneurial Winning Women Program, where she remains an active participant.

"I’ve built my own international companies by surrounding myself with passionate people and developing the Supported Start-Up model. Now, I’m deeply committed to offering Supported Start-Up Investing to founders—not just providing financial backing, but also the guidance, resources, and encouragement they need to truly succeed. Because success is all about having the right support and know-how to turn dreams into reality." Nicola Mills
