Founder and General Partner, Vestigo Ventures

About

Mark Casady is a former CEO who scaled LPL Financial from $750M to over $4B in revenue before reinventing himself as an early-stage fintech venture capitalist at Vestigo Ventures, where he applies big-company leadership assessment methods to evaluate founding teams through structured frameworks like a 20-point human-capital questionnaire. He actively deploys an expert advisory board of academics and industry specialists directly into deal diligence and board roles, while maintaining board positions across banks, software vendors, and fintech startups that give him pattern recognition across the entire financial services ecosystem.
