When Two of Travis Hawkes’ Meetings Bombed at the Box Office

Meet Travis Hawkes — founder, investor, empire-builder, and the driving force behind the Treasure Valley’s top venture capital firm, Capital Eleven. Their portfolio spans auto loans, private equity, and a fast-growing investment bank… and he’s just getting started.

He’s a husband. A father. And a serial entrepreneur who’s built his success by betting on bold ideas — and the people crazy enough to build them.

But to find the good ones? He has to sit through a lot of meetings.

In this episode, Travis doesn’t hold back. He brings not one, but two tales of meetings so painfully bad they could’ve been titled “A Waste of Time” and “Trainwreck: The Sequel.”
