ABOUT

Mark H Goldstein
Managing Partner

Mark got his start as 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 also a General Partner at Builders VC, a Series A venture capital firm that invests in the exact same two areas.  Successful pre-seed and seed Advisors Fund investments can ideally lead to a later stage investment from Builders. 

Mark is Founder and Chairman of UCSF Health Hub, UCSF's innovation center that connects healthcare inventors and companies with the people, expertise, and capital needed to grow and scale.  UCSF Health Hub hosts dozens of events, produces the annual UCSF Digital Health Awards Show each fall and supports thousands of members.

​Mark also previously was an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Softbank and NEA and more recently founded Bad Ass Advisors, a curated community of thousands of tech mentors and early stage companies.
