Hear from our existing investors
"Maria 01 is a place where some of the most incredible ideas come to life: this year, we contributed to this by making several new investments in future-proof companies ranging from quantum computing to consumer products. We’re anxious to see what another year as part of this thriving campus has in store for us!
