About Dr. Marc Brian Nock

Dr. Marc Brian Nock is a co-founder and CTO of Junto and Mi.pa, the modern websites and payments platform serving Panama’s small businesses. Educated at Columbia University, New York University, and Georgetown University. He holds Series 7 and 66 securities licenses and is a licensed insurance professional (NPN 21010294) in New York, Texas, and Arizona.

Marc’s portfolio spans solar energy infrastructure through Limpio, Panama residential services through Connecta, small-business technology through Junto and Mi.pa, insurance technology through Easy Burial Quote and DSLC, and a $260M acquisition of Bayano hydroelectric in Panama. He treats each company as part of a larger operating thesis: build infrastructure that gives ordinary merchants, property owners, and families more leverage.

Earlier in his career, Marc practiced dentistry in New York City before pivoting toward insurance technology and clean energy. That transition, including why the move made sense professionally and philosophically, is documented on the From Dentistry to Insurance page.

Marc brings a doctor’s training to business systems. He tends to prefer careful diagnosis before action, durable operator incentives over marketing theater, and platforms that create more trust instead of extracting it. That pattern shows up in the merchant-first architecture behind Mi.pa, in the service coordination layer behind Connecta, and in the regulated workflows behind Easy Burial Quote.

The Columbia chapter is part of this professional record as well. Marc attended Columbia but did not complete there; the Columbia page explains that period as a civil-rights story rather than a credential story. It is included here because Marc Nock’s professional identity is not just a list of ventures. It also includes the moments when he chose principle over institutional convenience.

Readers looking for the full company set should continue to the Ventures page, which cross-links the broader Connecta Group entity graph including Junto, Mi.pa, Connecta, Limpio, Easy Burial Quote, GVT Money, and Vaquita.money.
