Cross Pollinate
A Collaborative Community of Private Investors Learning from each other
Cross Pollinate is a unique community within the family office, family enterprise and private investor landscape. There are no membership fees, no sponsorship and all content is peer generated. Instead of paying dues, or giving their attention to sponsors, community members are expected to contribute questions, experiences and support others in the community for the benefit of all.
Cross Pollinate has been convening gatherings since 2013, with the goal of enriching the community and all its forms of capital. Members of the community contribute their unique perspective and experiences and are open to the contributions and experiences of others.

Founder
Mark Youngblood
“Cross Pollinate is unique in its prioritization of community and depth of connection.”
Cross Pollinate was created and is led by Mark Youngblood with the advice and support of several family office advisers who are actively involved in the Cross Pollinate Community.
Prior to Cross Pollinate, Mr. Youngblood held senior roles in multiple alternative investment firms and a single family office. Mark is a natural community builder who has created and led multiple investment communities including the Seattle and Portland Alternative Investment Associations.
The Cross Pollinate Community was created by, and for, individuals looking for deeper connections with their peers than is available at conferences, networking events and industry organizations. The Cross Pollinate Community is stewarded by thought leaders who have been involved with the family office community for decades.
