We're sharing a recent announcement post from the community on our blog by Mike Williams, which is about the first year for Marketplace Capital. This was originally shared as an announcement post in the community here.

Hey all, it seems like it was just the other day that we announced Marketplace Capital (here), but today is our first anniversary!

It’s been a big year & here’s a few highlights I wanted to share:

• Reviewed 2,000+ marketplace deals
• Made 18 investments
• Had 4 markups 

We’re starting to really hit our stride and looking forward to backing lots of awesome founders & marketplaces. On that note, we have ~50%+ of capital left to deploy and will be backing 20+ more marketplaces from fund I.

You can also see our Marketplace Capital Founders Manual for more about our fund, who our LPs are, what we look for, our investment process, how we can support founders, and how to share more about what you're building with us. Feel free to reach out to me or my awesome partner (other half) of Marketplace Capital Andrew Blachman directly at any time.

Lastly, a huge thanks to all of our LPs who really make it the "who’s who" when it comes to marketplaces and of course all of the awesome founders we’ve had the chance to back so far. Not only that, but all of you for playing a key part in building up the community and our fund to help support founders more. We’re building up something really special (and needed) for the world of marketplace startups and just getting started. Here's to another big year ahead!
