My name is Amy Marks Dornbusch. I am a passionate and creative thinker, investor, philanthropist, entrepreneur and champion for women and girls. I strive to make valuable connections across my networks to leverage exciting new opportunities ripe for investment, consumers and individuals pursuing their own path forward. I’ve also been called a “get shit done” person.
I do not believe that business, life experience and philanthropy exist in their own silos.

Early Stage Investing
My portfolio companies span a variety of consumer industries including food and beverage, home and hospitality and apparel.
Philanthropy
I serve as Director for the Marks Family Foundation, a family entity that awards risk-tolerant grants supporting both organizations and individuals. We are passionate about creating opportunities for people to pursue their life paths by limiting barriers that stand in their way. We support equally passionate populations through our giving in education, the arts, innovative disease research and broad issues facing women and girls.
AtlasDaughters
AtlasDaughters is a recently launched social venture that brings my two decades of experience across hospitality, investing and philanthropy, along with parenting to three young children, together in pursuit of accelerated impact. Our inspired philanthropic journeys for mothers and their daughters seek to catalyze bold funding to women leading innovative solutions for human and planetary health, while inspiring our next generation of change agents.
