“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. A number of the portfolio companies are maturing well, and moving towards attractive exits.”
Chris Kirkness, MMC investor

“In my view the reason why MMC is head and shoulders above other venture companies is its supportive stance while the investee company is growing. I have seen many examples where 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.MMC will do everything it can to avoid administration, even lending money to postpone closure. When the company is doing well MMC is equally supportive and helpful without breathing down the company's neck. I am certain investee companies would much prefer to have MMC as its core investor as they will feel confident everything is being done to help them grow.”
Guy Heald, MMC Investor

“MMC Ventures is providing much more than finance to the teams it decides to back. I have had the pleasure to attend one of the open day events for their portfolio where CEOs are encouraged to share experiences and external speakers are invited in to speak on areas of common interest - it was terrific, with excellent participation throughout. When it comes to supporting a genuine eco-system for their companies MMC Ventures "gets it". They are always on my list of people to introduce when I meet teams looking for finance plus value-add.”
David Mardle, Partner at Taylor Wessing

“We have enjoyed working with MMC – they listen carefully, are quick to grasp concepts and detail alike, ask incisive questions and do not prevaricate when it comes to making decisions.  In short, we would recommend speaking to Jon and Tracy at MMC about your investment needs.”
Dr Alex Starling, Strata Partners

“I have worked closely with the MMC team over the course of 2009 on a joint portfolio company, which has required both our funds to take a hands-on approach.  MMC has shown great perseverance in solving some very complex and demanding issues; I look forward to a strong continuing relationship with MMC as we position the portfolio company for exit.”
Benjamin Davis, Investment Manager, YFM Group

“MMC have been an investor in Clash since 2007. We have always found MMC to be an asset to the team. In addition to the required cash investments, MMC have regularly provided quality business advice and introductions through their network of contacts.  They have also advised and helped to steer Clash on its growth path as it has become a global operation, trading in 9 countries with over 100 staff.”
Simon Wajcenberg, CEO Clash Media, MMC portfolio company

“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.”
Harvey Sinclair, CEO e-trader, MMC portfolio company

“Recipients of venture capital funding are often simply grateful for the funding they received, and some look back on the due diligence undertaken with mixed views. However, I feel differently. The insights shared by MMC with us during due diligence have really helped us. For example, as a result of their work and input, we changed the structure of the management team and the growth in the sales funnel is benefiting greatly from this.”

MMC Ventures took all the concerns out of dealing with a VC and were extremely professional, approachable and friendly to deal with. The entire process was dealt with in a very efficient manner, which would only have been possible through complete focus to the deal and our company. This level of detail was also apparent through the research, access to data and a total understanding of our market and product positioning. I would not hesitate to recommend MMC to any business seeking investment.”
