11 Tribes Ventures is an early-stage venture fund that proactively invests in the resilience of entrepreneurs. The fund is radical in its allocation of resources to fund founder wellbeing, putting real dollars towards their mental, emotional, and spiritual health. They are proving that healthy founders will lead to healthy returns without compromising mission or profitability. Thesis-wise, 11 Tribes invests in purpose-driven entrepreneurs disrupting legacy industries. The company provides innovative, founder-focused venture capital investment to early-stage technology companies in non-traditional technology hubs across the county. 11 Tribes Ventures is disrupting the business model of venture capital. The traditional “growth at all costs” mentality produces founder burnout, unsettling ethics, and failed investments. By rejecting this status quo of dollars-driven, people-indifferent investing in lieu of an approach that centers around building businesses that are profitable and sustainable, they’re changing the narrative from burnout to flourishing by redefining the ecosystem of support around each founder.
