Mark got his start as a full-time operator – co-founding a dozen fintech, SaaS, e-commerce, retail, green tech, online gaming, and music ventures over the past 30 years. Now, Mark's passion is as 'player/coach'. His mission is two-fold: helping America reduce the cost and increase the efficacy of health care via technology, and enabling founders (with deep domain experience in their respective industry) to take on the legacy providers that directly or indirectly are holding back change.

Mark is Founder and Chairman of the recently launched UCSF Health Hub, UCSF's new innovation hub and non-profit growth studio that connects ideas and companies with the people, expertise, and capital needed to grow and scale breakthrough healthcare solutions.

Mark also previously was an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Softbank and then at NEA and founded Bad Ass Advisors, a curated community of thousands of Silicon Valley tech mentors and early-stage companies and has made over 125 investments in tech either as an angel or institutional investor.

Mark is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and has served on it's Board of Overseers.
