From Our Luminaries
Reid Hoffman
Founder, LinkedIn
“I think Village’s innovative structure as a seed fund will lead to many interesting teams securing their first round of funding, and will improve the quality and quantity of companies that connect with major venture firms for their Series A & beyond.”
Sara Blakely
Founder, Spanx
“I love being an entrepreneur and I love supporting fellow entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurship is the backbone of our country, and especially as a woman, I’m grateful for the opportunities. I’m excited to be a part of Village.”
Mike Bloomberg
Entrepreneur & Philanthropist
“Most entrepreneurs are – to one extent or another – flying blind. That can be exciting but also lead to avoidable crashes. Village aims to help a new generation of entrepreneurs overcome challenges no degree or training can prepare them for.”
Ken Chenault
Former CEO, American Express
“I believe leadership is a privilege and I work every day to become a better leader. I love sharing the lessons I’ve learned in my own journey, and look forward to doing so with entrepreneurs and technologists in the Village network.”
