Investing capital & hands-on marketing help

About MKT1 Capital

We started MKT1 Capital in 2022 because the investor-marketer skillset was sorely missing in the ecosystem, yet highly-valuable to founders and startups. We were uniquely suited to fill this gap— given our backgrounds as marketing leaders taking startups from 0 to 1 and $1M to $100M.

Our fund was backed by Bain Capital Ventures and Atacama Ventures; GPs including Aileen Lee (Cowboy Ventures), Elizabeth Yin (Hustle Fund) Andy McLoughlin (Uncork Capital), Adam Nelson (FirstMark), Jonathan Heiliger (Vertex Ventures), and Avichal Garg (Electric Capital). Plus founders, operators, and 75+ marketers with leadership experience at B2B Startups including Airtable, Alloy, AngelList, Asana, Atlassian, Box, Carta, Dropbox, Flexport, Glassdoor, Mode, Oyster, Plaid, Ramp, Slack, Splunk, & Wealthfront.
