Steven MacDonald is the Managing Director and founder of MacDonald Ventures, a Tampa-based venture capital firm he launched in late 2020 after achieving over $400 million in exits from his prior companies, TechHealth and myMatrixx. His investment thesis centers on early-stage tech startups with a minimum viable product and verified customer traction, prioritizing passionate, coachable founders over specific sectors or geographies. MacDonald typically leads rounds, such as a $2 million series seed-plus investment in cannabis tech company Kush.com, and has made roughly 10 investments since founding his firm. Notable portfolio companies include Kush.com, HealthSnap (a Series B investment in February 2024), and firms within his broader portfolio of over 100 early companies. He distinguishes his approach by requiring a large total addressable market, a unique perspective on big problems, and a difficult-to-encroach moat before investing. MacDonald publicly emphasizes that “it always starts with the founder,” offering mentorship rooted in decades of entrepreneurial experience rather than just capital.
