Testimonials from management teams that we've backed

David Wilkinson, Breathing Buildings

"MMC invested in Breathing Buildings in July 2009 and has shown unwavering commitment to growing our business ever since.  Their advice, patience and challenge have helped us grow revenues more than 300% in that time whilst appreciating that this is only the start of our growth story."

Harvey Sinclair, E-Trader

"MMC have been great to work with throughout the fundraising process, from the very beginning, I found the team passionate about our business and despite receiving several other offers from different funding sources, chose MMC because I felt we were genuinely bringing on board a 'partner'.  In addition, I found there was a strong cultural fit with our team."

Chris Wade, VC-Net

"MMC are a breath of fresh air. They are 'professional value add investors' of the like that I haven't seen from the venture community for a long time and amazingly stands the test of time through the good and hard times that every start up enjoys!"

Testimonials from our investors

Richard Briance, former Deputy Chairman, Hawkpoint

"I find investing with MMC an excellent proposition. High quality due diligence; good access to market intelligence through their own network; partners investing their own capital in each deal; excellent ongoing communication and direct access to investee companies."

Robert Daum, former MD, UBS

"I originally invested with MMC because UK venture capital for early stage companies was an under priced market.  My thesis is unchanged, but along the way I have been continually impressed with the professionalism of the MMC team, the thoroughness of their due diligence and the fact that they drive a hard but fair bargain on behalf of their investors"

Guy Heald, former Head of HSBC Japan

"MMC is head and shoulders above other venture companies. MMC is constructive in its relationship when the going becomes tough and helps the company not only raise new money but also guides the company to diversify its sources of revenue"

Chris Kirkness, Partner at Korn/Ferry

"MMC have been able to source very interesting deals, in sectors with excellent structural growth, and  relatively quantifiable risk factors. Their due diligence is thorough, and deal structuring well aligned to company circumstances."

Michael Payton, Senior Partner, Clyde & Co

"The MMC team is painstaking in its analysis of prospective deals.  MMC is professional and dispassionate in its selection of ventures to support.  It is a great comfort to investors to know that there is always equal commitment on the part of the Managers, personally."
