Emily Dinu built Numinous Capital to bridge the gap between the "ivory tower" of research and the "iron foundry" of industry. Her career is defined by a singular focus: applying operational rigor to the chaotic frontier of innovation.

​

Emily is an operator. She brings a rare "full-stack" experience to venture capital, having managed the architecture of complex funds, hundreds of messy startups, and the realities of manufacturing in America.

 

• The Asset Manager: Former Chief Operating Executive for BKCM LLC, one of the world’s first crypto hedge funds, where she was instrumental in launching a pioneering blockchain-focused ETF.

​

• The Industrialist: As Director of Business Operations for MueKo Machinery (acquired by ASYS Group), she gained firsthand experience in the advanced manufacturing and robotics sectors she now invests in.

​

Her pattern recognition was forged in the "messy middle." At 19, she founded a strategic advisory firm that supported hundreds of founders, allowing her to develop the proprietary diligence frameworks that now power The Numinous Audit.

​

Today, Emily sits at the intersection of Federal Research and Venture Capital. She serves as a Mentor for the NSF I-Corps and helps lead the Advancing Photonics Technologies (APT) investor network at Princeton University. She holds a Master's in Innovation and Entrepreneurship from Harvard Extension School and is a Board Member of Georgia Life Sciences.

​

She invests in the New Power & Light, building the quantum-ready industrial base that will secure the American future.
