Meagan Malm joined Grand Rapids-based Michigan Capital Network in December 2020 as a part-time analyst. Now a principal, Malm works on deal reviews, conducting due diligence on prospective investments, deal sourcing and managing portfolio companies.

A Grayling native, Malm graduated in 2018 from the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business with a degree in business. She studied Swahili and lived in Tanzania from mid 2018 until the end of 2019 after graduating. In Tanzania, she worked on an independent research project studying the effect of micro-financing tools on small businesses.

After she saw a job posting, Malm applied for and secured a position at Michigan Capital Network, where she credits CEO Paul D’Amato for serving as a mentor and playing a “crucial role” in her success and professional development. Meagan assumed the role of Director for Grand Angels in October of 2023.
