Marle Dare

Marla Dare is an institutional investment-accounting and treasury professional at The University of Alabama System, the governing body for the University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa), the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), and the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). As of a 2017 system staff directory she held the title Manager of Investment Accounting within the Finance and Administration department, reachable at the same phone (205-348-5787) and the [hidden] address that appears in the stub. More recent profile data lists her in an expanded role as Director, Investment Accounting & Treasury Cash Management. Prior to the University, she is reported to have worked as a Manager at JMF Capstone Wealth Management (a Tuscaloosa-area wealth-management firm).

Her office — the System's Investment Management / Treasury group — oversees the University of Alabama System's investments across both its endowment and operating (treasury) funds, under the supervision of the Investment Committee of the Board of Trustees. Per the office's own description, the Investment Committee approves investment strategy, asset allocation, and the selection of external investment managers, and the office works with consultant Fund Evaluation Group (FEG) to evaluate prospective managers for the System's investment pools. Related current/recent staff in that office include Justin Fanning (Assistant Vice Chancellor for Investments and Treasury), Ashley Austin (Director of Investments and Treasury), and Kayla Hinton (Investments and Treasury Accounting Analyst) — the last of whom now appears at the 205-348-5787 number, suggesting Ms. Dare's role and contact line have evolved over time.

Important correction to the stub data: The known stub classifies "Marle Dare" as an "Angel Investor" making "Seed Round" investments. No public source supports that. Marla Dare is an accounting and treasury manager for a university system's institutional fund — a back-office/portfolio-administration role — not a venture or angel investor who writes checks into startups. The "angel investor" label almost certainly resulted from her university email and phone being scraped into a generic investor-contact list. The remaining sections reflect this reality rather than inventing a startup-investing persona.

• There is no public evidence that Marla Dare makes personal angel or seed-stage startup investments, and no stated personal investment thesis exists to quote.
• In her institutional capacity, the relevant mandate is the University of Alabama System's investment program: managing the System's endowment and operating funds, with strategy, asset allocation, and manager selection governed by the Board of Trustees' Investment Committee.
• The System's investment process relies on outside consultant Fund Evaluation Group (FEG) to vet external investment managers — i.e., the office allocates to professional fund managers, it does not source or fund early-stage companies directly.
• Her personal expertise sits in investment accounting and treasury cash management (fund accounting, reconciliation, cash/liquidity management) rather than deal sourcing or term-sheet negotiation.
