Mercury Partnerships Ltd, based out of London, are currently raising capital for Brickowner Limted, a London based real estate crowd funding company with assets under management and currently in its 3rd round of funding. Mercury has forged a strong relationship with Brickowner, most notably the CEO and co-founder Fred Bristol. Brickowner has made great traction in the real estate sector in just 2 years. They have invested heavily in their platform and already have a huge membership database and assets under management. This raise sits perfectly under the strategy of Mercury Partnerships and its target sectors of European based Fintech and A.I. companies. “These are currently the fastest growing and most exciting sectors in the world at the moment and have the greatest potential of short and medium term growth for our clients”, says Phil Wombwell, CEO Mercury Partnerships. Mercury only raise capital with a view to acquire a stake in the company so as to take a seat on the board of directors and protect the interests of its investors. Mercury strategically go after Fintech and AI companies in early stage (not start ups) with strong management teams that can disrupt markets. Phil went on to say “Major institutions around the world are diversifying into Fintech and A.I. disruptors, the sector will only gain traction as it evolves because insurance companies, banks and investment companies will depend more and more on mobile application development and online sales channels.”
