Billionaire Family-Backed Firm Raises $100 Million Venture Fund, Congatuations Mark B. 👇 HIPstr, the venture arm of Mark Bezos and David Moross's HighPost Capital, raised $100 million from investors including rich individuals and institutional firms for early-stage deals outside its traditional buyout focus. Why is this so significant? As the venture capital ecosystem continues to evolve, family offices are increasingly seen as pivotal players.
