The last several months have been anything but normal for anyone starting, building, or funding early-stage companies. But as we all know, when things don't go well, then there's a story to tell.
Venture has to evolve. My thoughts on the topic below.

Last but not least, consider investing.

Ok Twitter. I need your help.
We have BIG NEWS at @11TribesVC. We’re announcing the launch of our second fund. And I need your help to spread the word.
Why? Because we’re raising publicly. Which means YOU can invest!
Let me tell you more…
The world lost a great man today in Tim Keller. I count my life among the many that Tim impacted through his speaking and writing.
I read Tim's book Every Good Endeavor during some of the most challenging professional moments of my life. Tim wrote...
"A job is a vocation only if someone else calls you to do it for them rather than for yourself. And so our work can be a calling only if it is reimagined as a mission of service to something beyond merely our own interests. Thinking of work mainly as a means of self-fulfillment and self-realization slowly crushes a person.”
Safe to say it fundamentally and permanently changed the way I approach work.
If Tim's words above resonate with you, if you leave work each day feeling empty and unfulfilled, shoot me a message and I will send you a copy of the book (I really will! I'm that serious about it).
Thank you Tim. Rest in peace.
@MarkPhillips11T Follow-up question:
How would you define “founder outcome”.
Strong metrics exist for successful business outcome - we don’t have as strong a set of “KPIs” for founder outcomes.
Human resilience has been on my mind as I journey alongside incredible entrepreneurs at @11TribesVC.
More to come on resilience soon…
In the meantime, how @findkadence supports founders in resilience is incredible. I’m thrilled to join them on 3/1.

@gabby_lubin@Dr_MatthewJones@DarrelFrater Building without burnout. That's our hope for our founders and reason behind our "2% Commitment".
Grateful to be thinking differently about the future of work alongside founders like you, Gabby.
It was a total blast joining @thepitchshow. Stories matter and @joshmuccio + @muccio_lisa ability to share those stories will shape the next generation of entrepreneurs. Grateful to play a small part.
@FTNNetwork is building something special in a market that continues to expand. We’re thrilled to be investing alongside @Techstars to support @MagicSportsGuy and the whole FTN team!
📢 Announcement 📢
As we continue to build @FTNNetwork we need great partners, so we are beyond excited to be working with @MarkPhillipsVC & @11TribesVC!

Reflecting this morning on a tremendous week at @CapitalCamp. Thanks to @BrentBeshore and @patrick_oshag for gathering such an intentional and thoughtful group of leaders.
While the takeaways are numerous, I can’t shake what @kenneth0stanley shared on setting objectives…
