About Michael Dell

Michael Dell is the founder, chairman, and CEO of Dell Technologies, while also serving as an angel investor who deploys personal capital into promising companies for equity. As an angel investor, he has made 19 investments, with his latest occurring in January 2024 in Arena BioWorks, a biotechnology firm. His investment activity is primarily personal rather than through a formal venture fund, though he manages broader wealth via MSD Capital (now DFO Management), a family office blending hedge fund principles with value investing. Typical check sizes and lead/follow behavior for his angel investments are not publicly specified in available sources. Notable portfolio companies include Arena BioWorks, and his broader portfolio via MSD Capital holds concentrated positions in As Automotive Group, Wesco Holdings, DEquity, PV Corp, and Town Media. Dell has not published a distinctive public investment thesis or writing specifically on angel investing, though his business strategy emphasizes direct-to-customer models and large-scale infrastructure mergers, such as the $67 billion EMC acquisition.
