🚀 Announcing our additional investment in Maybern (https://www.maybern.com/) Maybern has built the first true operating system for fund finance operations, bringing order to the chaos of private fund management. Purpose-built for complex funds managing billions in AUM, Maybern's core product centralizes and automates essential operations, creating a single source of truth that enhances accuracy, efficiency, and scalability. Behind their success is an exceptional team. Following our seed investment in 2021, we've watched Co-Founders Ross Mechanic and Ashwin Raghu execute with remarkable vision and product instincts. We're thrilled to join their $14M Series A alongside Primary Venture Partners, Camber Creek, HUMAN CAPITAL, and more. Last week they emerged from stealth, and the most sophisticated real estate investment funds will soon run on Maybern.
