Funds of Focal: Marc Cohen, Sole Partner at unbundled vc
This week we questioned Marc Cohen who is the Sole Partner at unbundled vc. Marc has developed a meticulous structure for networking and vetting his next investments, which we delve into.
unbundled vc’s investment strategy?
Marc knows exactly what he wants. He wants individuals who are doing something new or something that differentiates in ways that matter to the markets.
He looks for the potential in founders, more specifically those that have the ‘potential for a 100x return.’
His thesis is ‘investing incredibly’ (sounds simple!) and for this to work Marc wants to know the ins and outs of the business. He only backs founders who have the ability to narrate.
It is the ability to tell a narrative — beginning, middle, and end — of the product that is crucial. Marc finds that this helps him give the best advice, remain consistent and pave the way to make things happen.
A recent investment Marc is excited about
Wangie — a marketplace for on-demand access to therapists for mental health support.
Why does Marc partner with Focal?
For the ‘great opportunities and to help draw attention to them in the wider community.’
The entrepreneur Marc most admires?
Elon Musk as he admires his ‘speed of execution and fearlessness in tackling both important and hard-to-execute spaces.’
Favourite member of the Focal team, and why?
Marc stated, ‘I love you all.’ A very diplomatic answer to a very difficult question.
