Michigan Capital Network (MCN), a venture capital fund management firm and angel investing trade association, has promoted Meagan Malm to the position of Partner. She becomes the fourth partner at the firm, joining CEO and Managing Director Paul D’Amato, and Managing Partners Dale Grogan and Jody Vanderwel.

In her new role, Malm will assist or lead in the structuring of all deals for MCN’s investment efforts. She will also look to expand the MCN team.

Malm joined MCN in 2020 as an analyst and then took on the role of associate in 2021. She was promoted to Principal in 2022, and then elevated to Senior Principal, Director of MCN Operations, and Director of the Grand Angels investing group in 2024. She is credited with helping to establish a $100M Small Business Investment Company Critical Technologies (SBICCT) fund, raising $50M in private capital, which was then matched by $50M in funding from the U.S. Small Business Administration. Additionally, Malm has participated in nearly 60 closings and guided the investment of more than $33M in MCN funds.

“MCN is coming off a great year of exits in 2025, as well as the establishment of our fifth venture capital fund, and Meagan has played an integral role in those achievements,” said Paul D’Amato, CEO and Managing Director of Michigan Capital Network. “During her time at MCN, Meagan has helped to lead some of our largest fund activities, delivering solid portfolio performances for our member-investors. She has tremendous investment instincts and possesses excellent organizational skills. We’re pleased to elevate her role with MCN.”

In addition to her work with MCN, Malm serves on the boards of three portfolio companies, PhotoniCare, Wedge HR, and Poppy Flowers, and three investment industry boards, including serving as Vice Chair on the Michigan Venture Capital Association Board of Directors.

Between MCN’s five active regional angel investment groups and its five venture capital funds, the organization has more than 200 member-investors and over $250 million in assets under management. Since being established in 2004, MCN has invested in more than 100 companies, creating more than 2,000 high-paying tech industry jobs in Michigan.
