11 Tribes Ventures

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.

There is a serious change of narrative happening in the world of tech. And the CEO of the fastest growing company in the world is leading the charge. 

To quote Jensen Huang (CEO of Nvidia), "resilience matters in success". 

This is precisely why we created our Founder Resilience Commitment at 11 Tribes Ventures. 2% of every invested dollar goes directly to our founders from them to invest in their own resilience.

If you're not investing in your own resilience, what are you waiting for?

Our entire team at 11 Tribes Ventures is thrilled to see our very own Kristina Chapple included in such an exciting list of #chicago leaders. Her contributions to our firm have been nothing short of incredible. 

But what truly sets Kristina apart is her care for her people - specifically her peers in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. 

"I don't want to see my generation asleep at the wheel" is a common refrain for Kristina and a motivating factor for how she lives out each and every day. 

Ask a founder in the 11 Tribes portfolio or around Chicago what they know about Kristina and I'd bet they'd remark at her intentionality, her thoughtful questions, and just how present she was during their interaction. 

In a world with so many distractions, being able to give your full attention to one thing (or one person) at a time is powerful.

Proud to have you on our team Kristina. Watch out Chicago!
