Alex Doll

Alex is the Founder and Managing General Partner of Ten Eleven Ventures, the industry’s original venture capital fund focused solely on investing in digital security. The firm invests globally and is stage agnostic, working as KKR’s joint investment alliance partner for stages growth and later. Since its founding, Ten Eleven Ventures has raised nearly $500M, invested in 26 cybersecurity companies, and achieved 6 exits including Ping Identity (Vista), Hexadite (Microsoft), Cylance (BlackBerry), Twistlock (Palo Alto Networks), Verodin (FireEye), and Jask (Sumo Logic).

The founding of Ten Eleven brought together Alex’s experiences in finance, investing, software, and security operating roles in Silicon Valley. In 2002, Alex co-founded PGP Corporation, a company that combined the vision for a new security company with the secure email standard OpenPGP. Alex was the critical business architect of the hybrid structure that combined an innovation-led startup with the buyout of assets from Network Associates (McAfee). He served as a founding board member, CFO/VP of Business Development, and was a vital member of the executive team as it pioneered the encryption and data protection marketplaces. In 2010, Alex was the COO when it was purchased by Symantec.

After PGP, Alex continued his involvement with security companies as an angel investor, independent director, entrepreneur-in-residence at Khosla Ventures, and security deal team consultant to private equity firm KKR. These simultaneous stage agnostic security experiences were formative to the unique Ten Eleven investment strategy.

Alex also worked at Embark (The Princeton Review), PeopleSoft, OneID, and was an investment banker with Robertson, Stephens. Alex received his MBA from Stanford’s Graduate School of Business and graduated cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania’s Management & Technology program with a B.S. in Systems Engineering from the Moore School and a B.S. in Finance from the Wharton School.
