Asset verticals, one SPV per deal
What we do

One asset per vehicle. Real skin in the game.

Each Velocity deal is its own single-asset SPV, so you underwrite the actual asset rather than a blind pool. The principal co-invests personal capital in every deal, and where it makes sense, Velocity negotiates a seat at the table (a board seat or observer role with information and audit rights) rather than purely passive exposure. For every deal we publish a full investment memo and a short video walkthrough covering why we're doing it, how we underwrite it, and the risks involved.

Where we invest

Four verticals where specialized knowledge creates an edge.

Niche, often-overlooked opportunities that are typically unavailable to traditional investors.

Oil & Gas

Non-operated working interests

Direct interests in newly drilled wells run by established operators (Continental, XTO, Devon, SandRidge). Working interests carry intangible drilling cost (IDC) deductions high earners use to offset ordinary income, so you get the exposure and the tax profile without operating anything.

Independent Film

Genre films in tax-advantaged states

Affiliated entities hold credits on recently completed titles already generating revenue on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and similar platforms. See the slate at indievestfilms.com.

Sports Clubs

Minority stakes with scarcity tailwinds

Minority positions in clubs where scarcity of supply and rising popularity are structural tailwinds to valuation. Active conversations have spanned Welsh Premier, Gibraltar, EFL, and Scottish clubs, including an offer to a Welsh Premier club and a letter of intent to an Arena Football 1 expansion team. Access, not capital alone, is the constraint.

Select Private Companies

Cash-flow recaps & special situations

Capital-provider positions in capital-starved private companies: negotiated financing for governance and information rights, plus niche cash-flow and special-situation opportunities.

About

An operator and investor, not a fund wrapper.

Velocity is led by Nicholas Hunley, an attorney, operator, and investor who spends most of his time in markets that don't get much attention: fragmented private markets where price, access, and information move differently than in the parts of the economy that show up on CNBC. Oil and gas non-op interests. Lower-division European football clubs. Independent film. Early-stage companies outside the coastal venture ecosystem. The pattern is the same across all of them: structural friction keeps capital from flowing efficiently, and the participants who understand the friction get to operate inside it.

  • JD and practicing attorney; served as General Counsel of a ~$1.2B-AUM institutional investment platform, with leadership roles at ConocoPhillips and Chesapeake Energy (now Expand Energy).
  • Transactional depth: involvement in deals with aggregate NPV well over $100MM, negotiated purchase-and-sale agreements and portfolio transactions, led a company through a merger/takeover, and exited a company he owned.
  • Has owned and operated two oil & gas production companies; today operates a producing company and, through affiliates, holds non-op and royalty interests in 765 wells across 200+ operators.
  • Associate or executive producer on multiple independent films, including Past Life (with Jeremy Piven), Regression, Silver, and Devoted.
  • Minority interests in multiple sports clubs, with negotiations across Welsh Premier, Gibraltar, EFL, and Scottish clubs, including an offer to a Welsh Premier club and a letter of intent to an Arena Football 1 expansion team.
  • Investor in 80+ early-stage companies and lead on select syndicates; founding investor in a new Oklahoma-chartered community bank; owns income-producing rental real estate.
  • Founder of The Junior Times (thejuniortimes.com), a newspaper written by humans, not AI, for kids.

How it works

Transparent, deal by deal.

No commitment to a blind pool. You evaluate each opportunity on its own merits.

1

A deal opens

Velocity sources and structures a single-asset SPV under Reg D 506(c). Minimums are kept intentionally accessible and set per deal.

2

You diligence it

Each deal publishes a full investment memo and a short video walkthrough covering why we're doing it, how we underwrite it, and the risks. We welcome one-on-one conversations.

3

You invest alongside us

Accredited investors who verify can participate in the SPV, alongside the principal's own capital in the same deal.
