With a Ph.D. in experimental physics and a strong technical grounding including several years of professional scientific research experience, Mark Rahn has extended his expertise with nearly ten years commercial experience within technology companies.
He co-founded and operationally managed two VC-backed technology start-ups in optoelectronic materials for communications, data storage and displays. He then investigated methodologies and performance of the early-stage technology venture capital sector on behalf of private VC clients and was also responsible for marketing on the board of a tech start-up in the nuclear sector.
Following this successful experience, he made the switch to investment management by briefly providing unsecured loans to Lancashire businesses. Pursuing his interest in technology companies, he transferred to technology VC investments a year before joining MTI as an investment manager.
Mark’s domain expertise follows his experiences working for technology companies and focuses mainly on materials for optoelectronics, semiconductors and the nuclear industry.
Mark joined MTI as Investment Manager for the UMIP Premier Fund during 2008.
