Malcolm J. Collins is an entrepreneur and a neuroscientist from Dallas, Texas, USA. His work on the brain-computer interface and the evolution of human cognition is displayed in the Smithsonian Institution.[1][2][3]
Collins with his wife Simone, raised the first married Search Fund and regularly speaks about it at Stanford and Harvard business schools.[4][5][6][7] They made their first search fund deal in Peru, acquiring TravelMax, one of the largest travel agencies in America with over $100 million in revenue.[8][9][10]

He researched brain computing technology at 'Neuro Sky,’ in 2010, and his first relationship with Korea in 2014 by consulting for Bingle, an interest-based global SNS and later became the Director at TheVentures.[11]
Collins’s marriage proposal using DevianArt to his wife on Reddit went viral and garnered a lot of national and international media attention, including CNET, Buzzfeed, The DailyDot and HuffPost.[12][13] He was heavily criticized on the internet and was at the center of negative criticism as people commented “I’m holding out hope that this isn’t real,” “It makes me sad that this worked,” “This is probably the most cringe-worthy thing I’ve seen thus far on Reddit,” “Love is dead,” and other comments.[14]
The couple, together, founded ArtCorgi, the largest mid-market art commissioning marketplace, and was the second most prestigious accelerator in the world by 500 Startups.[15][16][17] They run a few nonprofits, including The Pragmatist Foundation, an NGO focused on pragmatic living, and Pronatalist.org, the only solely pronatalist focused NGO.[18][19]
Collins is also an author of three best-selling books[20][21] and regularly gets interviewed on popular podcasts.[22][23][24][25][26] They conducted a multistate “Get Out To Vote” program called Studentvotes.org to encourage students to participate in and vote for the US Presidential Election 2020.[27][28][29] The dean of Stanford Business School congratulated both for their efforts.[30]
Collins is married to Simone and has one kid together. He is also the grandson of James M. Collins.[31]
