With more than $400 million in exits of companies he founded and a portfolio of over 100 angel investments, self-made businessman and leading angel investor Steve MacDonald has launched MacDonald Ventures, his new platform allowing him to invest in the next generation of tech innovation committed to building a better tomorrow.
Through the new venture fund, MacDonald will seek out and invest in the next wave of phenomenal tech entrepreneurs with bleeding-edge ideas, and revolutionaries who strive for a better future. Along with investing in them financially, he will continue to nurture and mentor them by leveraging his decades of expertise in the tech sector, supported by both his raw instinct, experience, and data.
MacDonald will provide capital investment ranging from $50,000 to $1MM to a premier roster of passionate and dedicated techpreneurs and game-changing founders displaying demonstrable grit, and determination to have their world-changing ideas taken to greater heights.
The only requisite, besides founders with a drive to persevere, are those possessing pioneering ideas with a clearly defined ‘WOW! Factor,’ a “simple, easy to communicate feature that makes people literally say ‘WOW!’” MacDonald will support the long-term growth of innovative and disruptive early-stage startups across an ecosystem of tech verticals, including FinTech, SaaS, and BioTech, and streamline their ability to accelerate their growth by way of operational efficiency.
