11 Tribes Ventures is an early-stage venture fund that proactively invests in the resilience of entrepreneurs. We are radical in our allocation of resources to develop our founders, putting real dollars towards their mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Our approach is proving that healthy founders will lead to healthy returns without compromising mission or profitability. Furthermore, we invest in purpose-driven entrepreneurs disrupting legacy industries. Our firm provides innovative, founder-focused venture capital investment to early-stage technology companies in non-traditional technology hubs across the country. By rejecting the status quo of dollars-driven, people-indifferent investing and replacing it with an approach that centers around building businesses that are profitable and sustainable, 11 Tribes is changing the narrative of traditional venture from burnout to flourishing by redefining the ecosystem of support around each founder.
