Kristina Chapple
General Partner, 11 Tribes Ventures
Kristina Chapple is a General Partner at 11 Tribes Ventures- an
early-stage fund that proactively invests in the resilience of their founders. In the industry, she is known for asking thoughtful and empathetic questions that challenge conventional approaches to diligence and post-investment support.
Kristina joined 11 Tribes as the first hire, helping the firm grow by deploying the remaining checks from Fund I ($11M) and supporting the Fund II raise ($40M). She is the “front door” of the firm, responsible for bringing 11 Tribes to market to source founders and assess companies through diligence. Thus far from Fund II, Kristina has led investments in companies like Alloy Market, LegalKarma, GoNanas, Nutrad, LeaseUp, and Circadian Risk.
Under her leadership, 11 Tribes is crafting an academically-verified organizational health study and reimagining the founder experience from the first call through to exit. Founders consistently describe 11 Tribes as “the VC that truly cares about them,” and Kristina is proving that healthy founders lead to healthy returns and business outcomes do not have to come at the expense of the founder
