The Seraph Team
Mark Moline
Founding & Managing Partner
Few people parallel Marku2019s natural talent for networking, and for strategically introducing people to each other. Many a former startup thrive today because of the resources Mark provided at key times. Mark has worn multiple hats in the world of investment ranging from Investment Banker to Venture Capitalist to Angel Investor, and anything that will keep him out of an office in search of potential unicorns. As founder of Seraph, Mark has been involved since day 1. He is the original Adventure Capitalist from whom Seraph was shaped. Based in Wanaka, New Zealand, Mark started life in the US and has lived on all but one continent (so far).
