The Art of the Possible with Proprietary Capital Investment Founder, Mark Watson III

The Jake Dunlap Show

Whether it is investing in startups, running public companies, or navigating major world crises, this week’s guest is all about keeping things right side up. It isn’t only companies that he aims to keep afloat. This week’s guest has been featured in Forbes, Inc., Yahoo Finance, Newsweek, and Bloomberg to name a few. Investor, entrepreneur, and skilled navigator of both the ocean and the boardroom, Mark Watson is this week’s guest on “The Jake Dunlap Show.”

Mark is a natural born leader, and from a young age always aspired to be a businessman. However, his reality was much different, as his parents divorced at age 7. His mother couldn’t afford jeans, so he wore polyester pants and had subsidized school lunch.

After studying Finance at Southern Methodist University, Mark went to The University of Texas Law School before tackling multiple finance and general counsel roles. After achieving his own childhood goal of being a successful businessman, he decided to help other entrepreneurs meet their goals. Mark is a true believer that all of your skills will come together.

Over the years, Mark embodied the notion of being an entrepreneur differently, and is a true believer that all skill will come together. He was even fortunate enough to share some boardroom bonding time with his Dad, who he credits for tutoring him in the world of business.

In 1998, Mark sensed that technology was going to significantly transform business and the economy, so he started Aquila Capital Partners to support and invest in companies that leverage potentially transformative technologies. It is their mission to support the next generation of entrepreneurs building purpose-driven, innovative technology-enabled companies.
