  New York Pizza Department

  Food

  New York Pizza Department (NYPD) is a privately held restaurant operator specializing in New York-themed pizzerias across Arizona. Founded in 1996, the company was established by founders, including Scott and Greg, who sought to bring the authentic experience of New York pizza to Arizona. Their journey began when they realized that despite using the same recipes and equipment from New York, their pizza in Phoenix lacked the distinct taste and texture. They identified the unique mineral content of New York water as the crucial missing element and went to great lengths to replicate it by sourcing water from Yonkers, NY, and working with water treatment specialists to match its specific properties. This commitment to water quality remains a cornerstone of their process. The business operates as a chain of casual dining restaurants with multiple locations throughout the Phoenix metro area and Tucson, headquartered in Chandler, AZ. In 2008, the company underwent a recapitalization, and it is currently owned by the private equity firm Main Street Capital. The business model encompasses full-service sit-down dining, counter service, carry-out, and delivery. Revenue is generated through the sale of a wide-ranging menu of Italian-American cuisine to the general public. The company also implements community engagement initiatives, partnering with local organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters of Arizona. NYPD's core product is authentic New York-style pizza, distinguished by its crust, which is achieved by using specially filtered water designed to mimic New York's water chemistry. The menu extends beyond pizza to include a broad selection of appetizers like garlic knots, entrees such as pasta and chicken parmesan, calzones, salads, and desserts. They offer a variety of specialty pies, build-your-own options, and cater to diverse dietary needs with gluten-free crusts and vegan cheese available. The company emphasizes the quality of its ingredients, such as whole milk mozzarella and San Marzano tomatoes, to ensure an authentic dining experience.

  Nikkl

  Fintech

  Nikkl is a financial services startup that provides a unique investment platform for high-net-worth individuals and family offices. The company operates in the private equity market, specifically focusing on unicorn companies - privately held startups valued at over $1 billion. Nikkl's business model revolves around providing its clients with risk-adjusted returns by investing in these unicorn companies, which have historically shown high internal rates of return (IRR). Nikkl's approach is to invest indirectly in these companies through vested but unexercised employee stock options, a segment of the market that they estimate to be worth around $240 billion and is currently underserved. This allows them to bypass the competition from top institutional investors who typically dominate direct investments in unicorn companies. The company offers two primary investment vehicles: Nikkl Early Access LLC and Nikkl Early Access Fund. These funds are diversified portfolios of unicorn companies, selected based on various criteria such as available cash, track record, and reliable valuation data. This ensures that only "safe bets" are included in the portfolio. Furthermore, Nikkl has developed a vast network of relationships with employees at hundreds of unicorn companies, enabling them to gain access to any unicorn company. They also offer the option of creating custom portfolios for clients who have a specific interest in certain unicorns. In summary, Nikkl is a unique player in the private equity market, providing an innovative and accessible way for family offices and high-net-worth individuals to invest in the lucrative unicorn market.
