Long-term ownership in businesses and real assets.
Alongside advisory work, MGSTAKING invests on its own account. We put our own capital where we understand the technology, the operations and the people.
Advice is different when you are an owner yourself.
An adviser who has never held equity optimises for the project. An owner optimises for what the company is worth in five years. We try to give the second kind of advice.
Owning stakes also keeps us honest about costs. Every recommendation we make to a client is one we would have to live with ourselves.
How we think about ownership.
Own capital only
Investments are made with the company's own funds, on its own account. There are no outside investors and no managed money.
Long term
We prefer to hold. The goal is ownership in things that compound, not trading.
Things we understand
Technology businesses and real assets, where operating experience lets us judge both the opportunity and the risk.
Involved where useful
Where we hold a stake in an operating business, we would rather contribute work and judgment than sit on a cap table.
Where we look.
Founder stakes in operating companies
Equity in technology businesses that Marius has co-founded and helps run.
Equity for work
In selected long-term engagements, part of the advisory fee can be structured as equity.
Real assets
Long-term positions in real assets, with commercial real estate as the area of closest interest.
What this is not.
MGSTAKING is not a fund, an asset manager or an investment adviser. It does not raise capital, does not offer investment products and does not solicit investors. Nothing on this page is an offer or a recommendation to invest. Marius's role at SyndiFi is separate from this activity, and nothing here promotes any SyndiFi offering.
Building something where a technical partner with a stake would help?
If you are a founder and think there is a fit, write a few lines about the business.
