Marquee Ventures is an early-stage fund that spun out of the Chicago Cubs. Like the iconic marquee that has illuminated Wrigley Field for almost 100 years, our investment strategy shines a light on companies with innovative ideas and exceptional growth potential. We actively partner with visionary founders and management teams, providing them with the resources, guidance and networks required to reach scale. How We Win Powerful Global Network: We can unlock a powerful global network of builders and leaders across the ecosystem. We know what our strengths are, and we know where we can help companies scale. Throughout our decades of combined leadership in these sectors, we understand that people ultimately drive results, so we have cultivated relationships with advisors and potential partners for our portfolio companies. True Partners: We are collegial and work as true partners. Early-stage companies are hard and working with people who share our "people first" attitude makes it a meaningful journey focused on shared success. We like to work with people who are just as happy debating ideas in the board room as they are doing it at an afternoon Cubs game. Expertise in Brand and Customer Experience: We have a unique understanding of the power of brand and customer experience. Nothing is more powerful than trust that a brand builds through its ongoing relationship with its customers. We have seen this firsthand both scaling new brands and managing historic ones. Transforming regular customers into meaningful fans can be the ultimate moat.
