Michael Green

Michael is a venture investor and entrepreneur focused on early-stage investments across the UK, North America, and Africa, spanning IT, engineering, and energy.

He also spent a year based in Beirut working on a peace and reconciliation project across the Near East.

Alongside his investment interests, Michael worked with Youth With A Mission, where he co-founded ReFactory, an IT academy and job placement programme in East Africa.
