In this episode, we discuss Mark’s journey to getting into VC and how his previous (failed) startup shaped his vision, how he had over 200 Zoom pitches to get to his first yes, why selling the vision and passion worked well for Fund I, how the narrative changed for Fund II, the critical importance of resilience, tips for landing Family Offices, and more. 

11 Tribes most recently raised a $46 million for Fund II from 220 HNW investors and Family Offices.  That follows a Fund I that was $11 million and largely sourced from around 80 HNW LPs.
