Our Approach
Neurotribes Holdings Limited was founded by Mark Quinn-Newall to bring together his investment and philanthropic vehicles.
Mark has previously invested in and worked with founders and executives of early stage start-ups to help them fulfil their potential and create scaleable businesses.
While Mark continues to invest through Neurotribes, his focus has moved increasingly away from active investment, and he now focuses on consulting and growing his autism philanthropy work. He supports a range of charities, particularly those researching Autism Spectrum Disorder and perceptions towards neurodiversity.
Testimonials

Mark was generous with his time, and his experience, and his trust. It took me a while to be qualified for the role he had asked me to do, but he trusted that we would get there together, and trusted that I would seek his advice when I needed to, which resulted in a highly satisfying project.
Mark is a very engaging communicator but I also found him a very acute listener. We did not always agree, but he made himself available to listen, and to understand and ultimately trust me in a challenging environment. On a personal level I admire his sense of honour and integrity, insight, wide ranging knowledge, and above all his insightful sense of humour.
Mark may be the shear smartest person I’ve ever worked with. Cult Beauty is complex, ever-changing in a digital world, and highly analytical. Mark’s ability to process information and use it for the benefit of the company was incredible. He worked very closely with the management team to ensure the future of the business was very well position and protected, in a completely collaborative manner. A rare find, Mark was innately curious. Always eager to learn and strive for excellence. His mantra of “whatever you know is never enough” was very humbling and encouraging at the same time.
“To see my original vision for Cult Beauty come to life as a global business that drives integrity, innovation and transparency in the beauty industry has been a dream come true. Cult Beauty’s returns demonstrate the enormous and largely untapped opportunity to invest in sustainable, women-fronted businesses. I will forever be grateful for Mark Quinn-Newall (co-founder of Net-A-Porter) and his ASD-driven brilliance.”
“Applying rigorous validation to any existing process will almost always result in positive change to that process and its efficiency…”
– Mark Quinn Newall
