Newcastle

We are excited about our expansion into Newcastle, which is one of the most vibrant cities in the United Kingdom. We are looking forward to our partnership with Maven who are one of the leading investors in the United Kingdom and will be a strong partner in the years to come.

Virraj Jatania, Founder of Pockit

Michael and Maven backed us when we were a small regional business with global ambitions. With their support, we were able to rapidly scale internationally, invest in our US business and weather the storm of Covid to become an international business. We did this whilst quadrupling revenues and building a world-class management team. On a personal level, this time has helped hone my capabilities as a CEO and has been one of the best stages of my professional growth. I am delighted that we can provide an exit and repay Michael's trust in me all those years ago.
