ABOUT GEORGIA ANGELS
An early-stage investment fund for Georgia companies, led by Mark Feinberg: five companies founded, three acquired, and twenty years advising founders and investors.
MANAGING PARTNER
Five companies founded, two more led as president or chief operating officer, three of them acquired. Mark has raised a first check, written them as an angel, and run the company that had to make one work.
More than $25 million raised across them, and four scaled by five times or better. A SaaS business from $100,000 to more than $10 million. A services company from $1 million to $5 million, selling into McDonald’s, YUM Brands, Chipotle and Home Depot. A venture built from concept to $5 million and sold.
The fourth was a consumer manufacturer he took from $7 million to more than $40 million as chief operating officer, through a stretch of hyper-growth that also needed a debt restructuring. Growth and trouble tend to arrive together, and both are worth having seen from inside the company.
He has run the same practice since 2004. It began as Feinberg Capital Advisors, a boutique firm that helped real estate ventures and small businesses raise capital and made angel investments into early stage companies. Small businesses raising money is not a theory to him; it was the work.
That practice evolved into Tame The Noise, where he is Owner, Managing Partner and Coach. Market assessments, financial cases, commercialization strategy and operating plans for founders, investors and established companies, including outsourced C-suite mandates and co-investment leadership for a multi-billion-dollar investment firm. He also coaches founders and owners directly, one at a time, which is the same work this fund calls support.
He has evaluated opportunities across fourteen sectors, and advises founders and faculty across a portfolio of more than 200 companies at Kennesaw State, where he built the stage-gated venture development model and served as interim director. Before the operating years, Ernst & Young and IBM, where he managed a software alliance and channel portfolio.
That range is the reason this fund is structured the way it is. A machine shop and a university spinout do not need the same money or the same help, and telling the difference is operating experience rather than a thesis.
