Founder & Investor. Building companies at the intersection of health, media & founder performance.

Hey there, I’m Sean. I play at the intersection of investing, media and human performance.

I’m a three-time INC 500 founder & entrepreneur with businesses in eCommerce, SaaS, media and B2B services that have collectively generated hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.

Right now, I serve as a General Partner at The Family Fund and am the CEO of Significant Publications, a B2B digital media holding company.

I'm particularly passionate about our brand FounderIV in support of today's founder-athletes. We help today's top entrepreneurs achieve breakout performance in their personal and professional lives.

I co-founded and led multiple other companies, including SnackNation, a health-centric foodservice and brand discovery platform that served 20,000 businesses across the US. 

Under my leadership, SnackNation was honored as one of the country’s Best Workplaces by Inc. Magazine, recognized for Top Company Culture by Entrepreneur Magazine, and certified as a Great Workplace by Great Place to Work®.

Forbes listed me as one of the top 30 leaders under 30 and one of America’s most promising CEOs under 35. Comparably also ranked me among the country’s top 50 small-to-medium sized business CEOs multiple years in a row. 

Outside of the business world, I’m a two-time national medalist in freestyle snowboarding, hold an advisory role at the growth capital firm, Meaningful Partners, have a degree in Biomedical Engineering from Columbia University and am an avid sports fan of all Michigan sports teams (especially the Wolverines).

I currently live in Venice, CA with my wife and college sweetheart, Shannon, and our goldendoodle, Jameson.

Chairman

One of the oldest laws in markets that everyone forgets:

More capital → more competition → higher entry prices → lower returns.

Abundant capital is great for momentum, but it rarely produces the best long-term outcomes.

The most durable venture returns tend to come from non-obvious places—where fewer checks are being written, expectations are lower, and pricing resets ahead of fundamentals.

You can make money following the herd...

But differentiated returns usually accrue to investors willing to underwrite conviction when capital is scarce.

That’s why we at The Family Fund & Founder Community are bullish on Consumer NOW.

Not despite the pullback in capital—but because of it.

Helping AEs earn $500K+ and max their potential to achieve freedom, fulfillment, & security without grinding or slimy sales tactics | Team + Individual Programs | 4X Salesforce Top Influencer | WSJ Best-Selling Author

Three quarters in a row, the number slipped.

The CRO was out of answers. Reps were burning out, the board was circling, and pressure was suffocating.

After one framework from our Revenue Engine OS™, our B2B sales training and revenue consulting program, that same org hit 114% the next quarter with no new hires and no extra leads.

A $40M B2B HR tech firm was losing 6 out of 10 deals to “no decision.”

Their pipeline looked full. It was fiction.

After installing our discovery and qualification sales process, deal velocity jumped 65% and win rates climbed 47%.

A fintech sales team took 14 months to ramp AEs.

After Venli’s AE ramp and sales coaching system, they did it in 6 and doubled first-year retention.

That is where we step in when chaos meets quota pressure.

At Venli, we provide B2B sales training, sales coaching, & revenue consulting for CROs, VPs of Sales, and Revenue Leaders at orgs doing $10M-$500M+/year.

We help these orgs:

Increase Disco→Close win rates.
Shorten sales cycles and improve forecast accuracy.
Ramp new AEs faster and improve quota attainment.
Fix broken sales processes from discovery to close.

Every strategist and trainer on our team has led B2B sales organizations from the trenches. We have carried quota, built teams, and scaled revenue firsthand - successfully.

Most sales orgs don’t have lazy reps. They have leaky sales systems:

→ Discovery that fails to create urgency.
→ Demos that die in silence.
→ Managers doing deal triage instead of sales coaching and training.

I’m Marcus Chan, Founder & CEO of Venli and creator of the Revenue Engine OS™, a proven B2B sales training and revenue effectiveness system used by 100+ organizations to turn chaos into predictable growth.

Before Venli, I led a $195M/year Fortune 500 B2B sales organization, earned 12 promotions in 8 years, and wrote a Wall Street Journal bestselling B2B sales book.

Recognized by Salesforce, LinkedIn, and Forbes, I’ve spent my career helping sales leaders stop gambling on effort and start scaling with systems.

If you lead a B2B sales organization generating at least $10M+ annually, I can show you exactly where your revenue is leaking and how to fix it systematically so you can scale to $100M and beyond.

Predictability is not luck.

It is engineered.

President / Founder

We help AE’s earn $250K-$500K+ and develop record-breaking sales skills.

We provide proven sales coaching + training for reps and teams teaching the exact President’s Club winning system that helped me close $140M ARR and hit 100-250% to quota 13 years in a row.

With over a decade of winning awards, crushing sales quotas, and sales leadership experience, we can help you transform your results! Yes, we are sales coaches that have actually achieved real proven results consistently before we started the business!

In under 5 years we've grown from 0 to 600+ clients and have achieved a few of the following things:
