About
Mark joined TL in 1994. Mark’s venture capital experience began in 1981, when he helped launch a biomass venture backed by General Electric’s venture capital group (now Canaan Partners) using technology developed at the University of Pennsylvania. At the time Mark started working with Bob Keith, then a senior executive at Fidelity Bank (now Wells Fargo). He followed that start-up by joining Ecogen, a Princeton-based microbial pesticide venture funded by Domain and Vista Ventures that later went public. In 1986, Mark joined Fidelity Bank to start-up and lead a corporate finance activity. While at Fidelity, Mark and Bob invested bank capital as a limited partner in numerous private equity funds. Together, they also helped create an S.B.I.C., Fidelcor Capital, to invest in early-stage technology companies. Mark’s investment interests are varied and run the gamut from software to business services to communications and energy. He has served on 46 public and private company boards.
