Michael Davis

Mike’s involvement with Village Capital started in 2014, when he was the Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer and later the Chief Investment Officer of MPOWER Financing. MPOWER Financing went through the Village Capital Edtech and Fintech accelerator programs and VilCap Investments invested in the company throughout follow-on rounds from 2015 to 2018. In late 2019, Mike transitioned out of day-to-day responsibilities while retaining his board role at MPOWER and started Olive Tree Ridge where he focused on helping female- and immigrant- founders and operators access capital markets.

Mike began his career at Sapient in their Energy and Financial Services consulting practices. At Sapient, Mike advised publicly traded utility companies, asset management firms, and brokerage firms on capturing mission-critical opportunities by adopting and using technology. After Sapient, Mike started the first of what would become fifteen ventures as a serial entrepreneur. His very first venture, Unique Davis Solutions, set out to make technology and associated technology services accessible to small and medium-sized businesses. After business school, Mike worked at Avon leading their Strategy and Innovation group, exploring the use of emerging technology to improve the lives of 6+ million Avon representatives.
