was a serial entrepreneur having founded two software companies,
selling both with the last selling to Salesforce. Mark is also a
prolific writer and one of his favourite pieces, Lines Not Dots
is a renowned article.
In conversation with Vidit Agarwal — Mark Suster shares his path
from a restless, ADHD-driven childhood to founding companies
through the dot-com era, selling to Salesforce, and ultimately
shaping Upfront Ventures over nearly two decades. Mark breaks
down how elite founders decide when to sell, how venture capital
really works at seed versus growth, and why discipline, timing,
and trust outperform hype, especially in volatile markets.
