Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at MTech Capital?
Co-founders Brian McLoughlin and Kevin McLoughlin, both Partners, lead investment decisions. Brian operates from Santa Monica and Kevin from London. The investment team also includes principals Nick Bendell and Jack Prescott.
How does MTech source proprietary deal flow?
MTech's strategic LP base — composed of some of the world's largest insurers, brokers, and asset managers — functions as an active sourcing channel. These partners surface market gaps, refer portfolio-company targets, and pilot early-stage technologies, giving MTech visibility into problems before they become widely shopped mandates.
Does MTech participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
MTech invests directly into portfolio companies. The firm's own structure is a venture capital fund, not a fund-of-funds. The website mentions syndicating co-investment opportunities to its strategic LPs but does not indicate that MTech itself allocates to outside funds.
Which sectors does MTech explicitly avoid?
MTech focuses almost entirely on insurance and adjacent financial services, including asset management, employee benefits, and retirement savings. Sectors outside fintech and insurance — such as hard-tech, consumer packaged goods, or life sciences — do not appear in the portfolio and are effectively excluded.
Is MTech structured as a corporate venture arm?
No. MTech is an independent venture capital firm that raised external capital from strategic insurance LPs. It is not a captive CVC. The firm makes autonomous investment decisions and has a conventional venture-partnership structure, while its LP relationships provide commercial advantages.
Where does the firm's insurance DNA come from?
Kevin McLoughlin previously ran global insurance investment banking at both BofA Merrill Lynch and Citigroup, giving MTech direct M&A and capital-markets fluency inside large insurance organizations. Brian McLoughlin's fintech investing background at Upfront Ventures contributed the early-stage venture discipline.
