Executive Bio
The Architect of Growth
Brian Mac Mahon is a global venture capitalist and the Founder & Managing Partner of Expert Dojo, one of the most active early-stage accelerators in the world.
With investments in over 300 startups across 50 countries, Brian has established a reputation for identifying high-potential founders and providing the strategic support needed to scale globally. He moves beyond the traditional VC role, acting as a hands-on partner who understands that the gap between a startup and a unicorn is bridged by execution, not just capital.
Beyond Expert Dojo, Brian serves as a Director at the Nathan Family Office ($1B+ AUM). This unique dual-role allows him to bridge the critical gap between early-stage innovation and institutional capital, supporting founders from their first check all the way to exit.
A strong advocate for the Indian startup ecosystem, he has backed over 30 Indian startups, viewing the region as a future superpower of global innovation.
"My mission is not just to invest, but to build the bridge for founders to cross from local success to global dominance."
