Mike Cyr is a small business founder, marketer & investor
I love all things digital. Long before graduating from Saint Mary's University with a degree in Marketing, I've been thinking about the way technology and people intersect and I spend my time learning about, investing in, and working with leaders at the forefront of the digital world. I'm well versed in a variety of digital and business tools and processes and this multidisciplinary background has helped me become a leader in the world of entrepreneurship and startups in Atlantic Canada. If I'm not online, you'll find me on the water pursuing my passion for sailing.
Professional Experience
In 2017, I co-founded Nanuk Technologies, developing virtual reality solutions for the real estate industry because, well, why not make the future a little more fun? In 2018, I joined Charcoal Marketing, where I’ve been lucky enough to apply my small business expertise and work alongside a brilliant team that’s ready for growth. When I’m not advising entrepreneurs and small business owners, I’m investing my time (and sometimes money) in businesses that I believe have real potential.
Education
Between 2013 and 2017, I earned my degree in Marketing from the Sobey School of Business at Saint Mary’s University. Post-graduation, I took it a step further with an Entrepreneurship certificate from Harvard Business School Online. To stay sharp in the ever-changing world of digital marketing, I’ve also collected certifications from HubSpot Academy, Google, and Shopify Partners Academy, to name a few.

When Mike’s not working…
When I’m not working, you can usually find me sailing, spending time with family, or exploring the natural beauty of Nova Scotia—because life isn’t all spreadsheets and strategy sessions.
