Mark Britto

Mark Britto is an entrepreneur and payments executive best known as the founder of Boku, a mobile-payments company founded in 2009. Boku’s own investor-relations site lists him as a Non-Executive Director and says he previously served as Boku’s Non-Executive Chair.

Before Boku, Britto was CEO of Ingenio for six years. Boku’s director biography says Ingenio was a service marketplace and performance-advertising company that he led to its 2007 acquisition by AT&T. Prior to Ingenio, he spent four years as SVP of worldwide services and sales at Amazon.com.

Britto’s first startup was Accept.com, which Boku says was acquired by Amazon.com in 1999 and became the primary backbone of Amazon’s global payments platform. Earlier in his career, he held senior credit and risk-management roles at FirstUSA and Bank of America.

Public profile data also links Britto to PayPal executive roles from 2017 to 2022 and lists UC Berkeley degrees in Operations Research and Industrial Engineering / Operations Research. I found no public source showing a formal current investment fund, stated check size, or published angel-investing mandate.

• Public sources do not show a formal written investment thesis, fund vehicle, or standard check size.
• His most defensible focus area is payments infrastructure and fintech, based on Accept.com, Amazon Payments-related work, Boku, PayPal, and earlier credit/risk roles.
• Companies with merchant distribution, local payments, alternative payment methods, mobile wallets, carrier billing, account-to-account payments, credit, fraud, risk, or commerce infrastructure are the clearest fit for his operating background.
• He appears more likely to be valuable as an operator angel or strategic advisor than as a purely financial investor, given his history building and scaling payments businesses.
