Making your fund more accessible
The retail investor opportunity lies closer to home for most managers. Fund managers can use our Feeder as a Service solution to help make their fund more accessible and inclusive to small ticket investors from their network
Mara's Feeder as a Service ("Faas")
Mara's Feeder solutions can reduce your fund's minimum ticket from millions to thousands, by taking care of the following painpoints:
Legal SPV structuring
We handle the legal set up of a unique Feeder for your fund so that individuals may be aggregated into LP on your cap table
KYC / AML
We perform KYC on each investor and work with your fund administration and legal teams so that they can rely on our checks
Administration / reporting
You only need to report to 1 LP (our SPV) rather than for multiple small investors, with us distributing your fund reports in line with your stated reporting cycle
Banking / cash management
We collect each investors' capital calls via our bank accounts and aggregate them into one capital call to be sent to you, and vice versa for distributions
Cap table consolidation
Reduce administration on your end by consolidating multiple investors into 1 single LP via our SPV
Secure portal / dataroom
Secure digital portal created in your fund branding that your investors will have access to view fund documentation, provide KYC info, and complete and sign our application form digitally
Marketing / webinar
Option to host a webinar with your fund to distribute within our investor network and via our social media presence
Outsourced investor relations
We engage with your investors throughout the onboarding process freeing up your time to focus on larger institutional LPs
The benefits: Partnership Capital
The upside for fund managers in making their fund more accessible to individuals from their network is not just more capital, but more importantly a vast array of synergies to foster alignment of interests and to differentiate themselves from peers

Widening the pool of staff that can invest in your fund is a great way to boost engagement, reduce turnover, skin in the game, and in turn performance
Your network is a valuable source of intel and technical abilities, which your fund will benefit from for broadening access for these individuals
Portfolio companies bear thousands of potential investors for you to tap into, with their investment a great indicator of your value add in your conversations with institutional LPs
Enabling your advisors to invest in your fund is a great way to boost loyalty and perhaps even benefit from preferential treatment over peers

Recommended by another GP, we were approached by Notion to structure an SPV for their large network of portfolio company executives, with one of their advisers also investing through our platform. Timing was tight, but we worked to execute the SPV before their final close. Investors made commitments ranging from €50k- €500k and were based in UK, Switzerland and EU jurisdictions.

Conny & Co required a solution to help the team’s vast network of HNW investors invest in their fund. Additionally, team members invested through our feeder SPV and we made the fund available to our network of investors. The team remarked that being able to execute KYC appropriately that their fund administrator was able to rely on was a major incentive to using Mara. We were able to help investors invest for as little as $5k.
