Molten Ventures Leads £4 Million Series A For Asset Management Platform MAIA Technology

Molten Ventures announced its lead investment in a £4 million Series A funding round for London-based MAIA Technology. The capital infusion is set to modernize how hedge funds and asset managers control and scale their investment workflows. Mountside Ventures served as the advisor for this fundraise, which targets an industry still heavily reliant on fragmented legacy systems.

MAIA provides a cloud-native platform that unifies portfolio analysis, compliance, and trading workflows into a single source of truth. By consolidating data from various sources, the software helps institutional investors make faster and more accurate decisions across their portfolios. This approach eliminates the manual processes and spreadsheet risk that often hinder operational efficiency in high-stakes environments.

The startup originated as an internal project at Fulcrum Asset Management before spinning out to commercialize its technology. This background provides a unique advantage, as the platform was battle-tested with billions in live assets before reaching the broader market. The leadership team, headed by CEO Mark Veevers, combines deep financial domain expertise with modern software development capabilities.

Luke Smith, Head of Early Investing at Molten Ventures, highlighted the clear need for purpose-built software to replace outdated manual processes. He noted that MAIA is uniquely positioned to handle the technical complexities of the sector through its thoughtful design and close client relationships. The investment will enable the team to accelerate product development and deepen its operational reach. Looking ahead, MAIA plans to expand its platform features and integrations to set a new standard for transparency in asset management. As programmatic investing grows, agile data management becomes critical for maintaining a competitive edge. The company intends to use the fresh capital to accelerate its growth and support a wider range of institutional clients.
