About Michael Palank

Marlon Nichols is a venture capital investor at MaC Venture Capital who pioneered "cultural investing"—backing companies at the intersection of popular culture and technology by using trends in music, sports, fashion, and entertainment as early indicators of where tech demand will emerge. Drawing from his global background growing up in Jamaica and living across continents, plus his structured approach from Intel Capital, he focuses on underestimated founders and markets as a source of investment advantage while providing deep operator-like coaching on go-to-market strategy and storytelling.
