Watch our exclusive interview with Mark Tluszcz Chairman of Wix & K Health and CEO of Mangrove Capital Partners.

Mark shares how Wix continues to #innovate year after year, strengthening their customer adoption and differentiating themselves from the competition. We also explored their #growth journey- including his pivotal advice to turn down a $400M acquisition offer in 2011, a bold decision that led to Wix going public just two years later. Today, the company is valued at nearly $10B. Safe to say, that was great advice.

Watch as Mark shares with us different aspects of the #entrepreneurial journey, including the first question he asks entrepreneurs, how to craft an equity-sharing plan within a company, the importance of bringing in a non-practitioner to #innovate- like in the K Health story- and the advice he would give to new entrepreneurs navigating today’s landscape. We also discussed him being the first investor at Skype, which was acquired by eBay for $2.75B in 2011

And of course, then there’s the most important question in the universe: Star Wars or Star Trek?
