Mark Hasebroock

Managing Partner Mark Hasebroock founded the firm in 2010 and is responsible for fundraising, sourcing, and leading deals, particularly those related to e-commerce such as Bulu, Summersalt, Amify, and AddStructure. Mark got his entrepreneurial start selling colored moccasins to pay for a spring break trip while at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (he paid for the trip, then had to issue refunds upon his return when his customers quickly realized that the moccasin dye stained their feet).

After a stint as an investment banker – and one as a popcorn distributor – Mark co-founded his first company, Giftcertificates.com, in 1997. Next, Mark co-founded Hayneedle, which was venture-backed by Sequoia and Insight Venture Partners and exited to Jet.com in 2016 (before Jet went on to become part of Walmart).

In 2010, Mark formed Dundee to solve the problem he faced as an entrepreneur building two tech startups in Omaha: the lack of early-stage capital available throughout the Midwest. Since, he’s grown Dundee to today with over $50 million under management and nearly fifty investments, building a team around the Dundee mission – to invest in and partner with the best technology entrepreneurs in between the coasts at the earliest stages. Mark is the first Nebraska-based member of the Kauffman Fellows (Class 22). He sits on the Omaha Children’s Hospital Board of Directors, and he coaches a Beer & Pretzel Hockey League (BPHL) team. Importantly, he’s played and coached the BPHL’s Team AU into a seventh consecutive championship team.
