Mara Invest

What Mara Invest does

Mara Invest is a London-based financial-infrastructure platform that builds and administers Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) on behalf of private-market fund managers. Founded by Sasha Batica (CFA) and registered in England and Wales (company number 13223012), the company is headquartered at 77 Fulham Palace Road, London W6 8AF, and serves fund managers, syndicates, emerging managers, family offices, and wealth managers across the UK, continental Europe, the Nordics, the US, and Latin America.

The platform covers the full SPV lifecycle: structuring and templating of vehicles (with input from partner law firms), digital investor onboarding with KYC/AML, secure datarooms, automated capital calls and distributions, compliance management, and ongoing administration/reporting. Its product set includes Feeder Solutions, an SPV Infrastructure suite, digital onboarding, datarooms, automated admin and reporting, compliance solutions, and Mara Club — a community layer for emerging managers and LPs. A distinguishing technical capability is support for web3 and tokenised-asset structures, which most European SPV-as-a-service competitors do not offer.

Mara generates revenue through transaction fees on SPV structuring and ongoing administration, priced on a quote basis per deal rather than as recurring SaaS. Notable clients include Notion Capital, Speedinvest, Isomer Capital, Players Fund, EUVC, Bootstrap Europe, Kalea Ventures, HotStart VC, Hersir Ventures, and Artists Collective. The company has reported executing more than 70 deals since the start of 2026 and is actively expanding its product surface (Feeder as a Service, an upcoming 'Cherry on Top' release) and geographic footprint (US entry, stated reach into Nordics and Southeast Asia).
