11 Tribes Ventures

11 Tribes is an early-stage venture fund with a mission to catalyze the potential of purpose-driven entrepreneurs to promote human flourishing.

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.

Learn more about our 506(c) fund below — this is the same thing @Jason uses to raise his fund, right Jason?

Join us as we invest to optimize for founder outcomes.

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…

[Mark Phillips @MarkPhillips11T]

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.

[Mark Phillips @MarkPhillips11T]

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.

@gamingfordev @breshnagame @MarkPhillipsVC He definitely stole that analogy from Greek mythology… at least it’s a good one!

@aly_madhavji @BlockchainFF @11TribesVC @MarkPhillipsVC @MyDailyPosts @BenPMG @SardarAhmedDur1 @WillLZell This toast from @MarkPhillipsVC gives me so many feels!

@11TribesVC was our 1st yes & co-led our seed round!

As a 1st-time founder, that yes tipped the dominos & we never looked back!

Mark, U are not just an investor but a friend & mentor, thanks for being game :)🌟😊

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…
