MEGA Holding

What MEGA Holding does

MEGA Holding (legal entity: EAGLE CAPITAL VENTURES SRL, VAT 09979200962) is a Milan-based private investment and consulting firm founded in 2017 by Gianmaria Brusini and Marco Boroli. It operates with a dual mandate: equity investment in startups and middle-size companies (taking majority or qualified minority stakes), and entrepreneurship-as-a-service consulting covering corporate governance, change management, business growth, and turnaround. Capital is deployed through dedicated Special Purpose Vehicles — FCV (Food & Capital Ventures) for food retail, food product, and food technology, and DCV (Digital Capital Ventures) for digital services and media — alongside co-investment positions in international VC rounds. The firm also manages MH Hub, a 1,000+ sqm co-working facility near the Fondazione Prada in Milan that houses portfolio companies at preferential rates and includes a ~200 sqm video recording studio.

The portfolio is diversified across technology (45%), healthcare (30%), consumer (15%), and services (10%) and spans Italy, the UK, and the United States, with reported assets under management of approximately $50M and portfolio market value of $100M. Investments include majority or qualified minority stakes in Remeo Gelato, This Is Not a Sushi Bar, Chef in Camicia, Will Media, and Fresco Frigo, plus co-investments in Bending Spoons, Naadam, MoFe, Poké Factory, Maui Poke, TonyKart, Pokeria by Nima, NIMA Sushi, and Martesana. The firm reports 200 portfolio companies and 20,000 jobs created across the portfolio, though these figures appear to reflect cumulative and co-investment activity rather than unique direct holdings.

The business model combines transaction-related investment returns from equity exits with professional-services consulting fees charged to portfolio companies for active governance and operational support. Deal flow is sourced through a sales-led, founder-facing GTM: the firm's multilingual website, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and a 'Send Your Project' submission portal, supplemented by direct outreach through the founders' personal networks. The leadership team consists of three named individuals — CEO Gianmaria Brusini, Executive Chairman Marco Boroli, and Independent Board Member Federico Isenburg (founder of EasyWelfare, sold to Edenred) — supported by additional founding partners in board and PR/Communication roles and a COO.
