The New York Times covered JetWare and Malchow as innovators in mobile computing.[2] Malchow attended Dartmouth College, where he graduated as a James O. Baker Presidential Scholar. At Dartmouth, Malchow led a campaign that placed four independent directors on the Board of Trustees of Dartmouth College.[3][4][5] Malchow's involvement was profiled in a 2008 Dartmouth Alumni Magazine article by Jake Tapper.[6]

In 2010 he cofounded Publir, a digital advertising exchange reaching 35 million Americans each month and focusing on providing premium programmatic advertisements to intellectual publications ranging from The Atlantic to Real Clear Politics. Because of its wide reach and influential participants, Publir is one of the largest invitation-only in the U.S. Digital media properties published by Malchow or monetized by companies he founded reach an average monthly audience of 35 million.

Malchow was named to the board of directors of the National Civic Art Society in 2018, alongside Roger Scruton. According to Architectural Record, in January 2020, President Donald J.
