Marc Withnall

Venture Partner
As a Venture Partner at Kuranda Industries, I lead with a vision that blends strategic platform investments across multiple industries with a strong personal mission: to create a foundation through Kuranda Capital that empowers my five children to pursue what inspires them and to generate real value on their terms. This journey is about building a legacy of curiosity, resilience, and adaptability—qualities that underpin both Kuranda’s investments and our family’s future.
 
Kuranda Industries isn’t just about capital; it’s about catalysing change. I drive a team passionate about innovation and enthusiastic about building processes that may one day replace our own roles. Together, we explore scalable, tech-forward platforms that redefine how we approach real estate, compliance, and investment, with a strong focus on digital transformation and AI integration. By constantly challenging ourselves to improve, automate, and adapt, we are developing an investment framework that balances growth with sustainability and legacy with innovation.
 
Core Areas of Focus:
  • Platform-Driven Investment: Investing in and developing platforms that enable efficiency, compliance, and market leadership across diverse sectors.
  • Legacy and Future Building: Empowering the next generation, using Kuranda Capital as a foundation for my children’s ventures and aspirations.
  • Innovation in Real Estate and Compliance: Driving projects that combine cutting-edge technology with robust compliance frameworks.
  • Continuous Improvement Mindset: Leading a team dedicated to self-evolution, always building systems that may one day render traditional roles obsolete.
  • Health and High Performance: Committed to a lifestyle of growth, supported by fitness, strategic coaching, and wellness.
