Mara will invest in experienced teams with whom it can build a long term relationship and who are able to survive the different stages of company development. Where appropriate, Mara will assist in development and recruitment of company management. Mara seeks to identify and fund new companies that are able to commercialize their products with full patent protection and, in the case of drug development companies, orphan drug status. Mara specializes in crafting the right business model around first-class management teams and proprietary technology. Mara has partnered with Value for Growth (V4G), a Brussels-based venture coaching company that offers start-up consulting from the technology concept stage to business expansion and market development stages. The services of V4G will be available to all of our portfolio companies and will bring international perspective to all business building decisions.
