📣 We are thrilled to announce that Mark Jacobstein has joined South Park Commons as a visiting partner! For 30 years, Mark has been at the forefront of major platform shifts, from the birth of the internet and mobile to the rise of AI and ‘omics-powered’ biotech. As a self-described “dedicated generalist,” he's built and led companies by spotting systemic changes early and leveraging them to create products people love. In 1994, Mark founded the world’s first online fantasy sports company: Small World Sports. He spun out one of the earliest web agencies, co-founded mobile games pioneer Digital Chocolate, joined Loopt, and later led mobile startup iSkoot through its acquisition by Qualcomm. More recently, he helped grow diagnostics leader Guardant Health through IPO, built the business at immunotherapeutics unicorn Immunai, co-founded Jimini Health, and started Near Horizon, where he partnered with founders to co-create new companies. At every step, Mark has been driven by optimism, creativity, and a knack for pulling insights across domains to uncover the bigger opportunity. Read our full conversation with Mark on what makes great founders, undiscovered frontiers, & more. Welcome! ⬇️

Had an engrossing and insightful chat with ‘the’ Mukesh Bansal, at South Park Commons BLR last week - and we went into a deep-dive on what it takes to truly pursue excellence. He's a constant learner and someone who always strives for great and not just 'good', and he doesn't stop finding new things to learn and master. He shares how crucial it is to be invested in the right ideas and right people, and to lead with authenticity. This -1 session was a reminder of why building your life's work takes decades - from an icon who has built Myntra and Curefit and is now deep into the Indian AI and frontier tech ecosystem, with Nurix and Meraki Labs. Here’s a glimpse into our chat, full episode linked in the comments.
