## Resource

Mark Tluszcz, Chairman of Wix and Co-Founder and CEO of Mangrove Capital Partners, joins LegendsNLeaders to share his journey as a technology investor and the story behind one of his most consequential investments—Wix. Mark takes us through his career in venture capital, what he saw in Wix during its early days, and the journey from backing an ambitious startup to watching it grow into a global technology company used by millions around the world. In this episode, Mark discusses becoming Chairman of Wix, working alongside founders as companies scale, identifying extraordinary entrepreneurs before everyone else sees the opportunity, and the lessons he has learned from decades of investing in technology companies. He also shares his perspective on venture capital, entrepreneurship, AI, taking risks, recognizing massive opportunities early, and what separates the startups that become category-defining companies from those that don't. #MarkTluszcz #Wix #MangroveCapital #VentureCapital #VC #Investing #Startups #Technology #TechInvesting #Entrepreneurship #Founder
