In this first episode of our investor-focused season, Nana and Andy are talking to Venture Capital firms and Angel Investors, to demystify the funding landscape and draw parallels between the journey of founders and investors.

They sat down with Marlon Nichols, the Managing General Partner at Mac Venture Capital, (https://macventurecapital.com/) to understand his route into VC, the challenges he's faced and why the General Partners believe in them.
