Mana Abrar Aria

Advice for the decisions that shape a company

What we do

Strategic solutions and personalized advice across four practices, helping clients grow, govern well and protect what they have built.

M&A Services

Mergers, Acquisitions and Corporate Governance

Valuation, due diligence, deal structuring and negotiation, from first approach to post-merger integration.

Read moreShow less

We help businesses evaluate their worth through business and product valuation, build solid strategic and financial plans, and develop financial models for effective decision-making.

Our work covers due diligence and market research, deal structuring and negotiation support. We plan exits — divestitures, IPOs and buyouts — and support post-merger integration so processes, teams and resources are aligned for long-term success.

Around each transaction we also advise on debt restructuring, tax-efficient structuring, risk and cash-flow management, board advisory and regulatory compliance, so the deal still works long after closing.

GP Services

General Partner for VC & PE Funds

We act as general partner for VC and PE funds, investing our limited partners’ capital with the discipline of an operator and the transparency of a fiduciary.

For our LPs we take the fund from idea to first close: fund structuring and formation, a clear investment thesis, investment policies and procedures, and the governance and regulatory setup.

As the fund invests, we run deal sourcing and screening, due diligence and investment committee work, portfolio monitoring and value creation alongside founders and management, valuation and LP reporting, and exits that return capital.

Corporate Innovation

AI Adoption, Corporate Ventures & Technology Acquisition

Management of technology and innovation for established companies: deciding which technologies to build, buy or partner for, and turning R&D and startups into growth.

We start with technology strategy: technology foresight and roadmapping, assessing the firm’s technological capabilities and absorptive capacity, and choosing the right technology acquisition route — in-house R&D, licensing and technology transfer, strategic alliances and joint development, or acquisition.

For AI transformation we identify and prioritise use cases, make build-or-buy decisions, and set the data and model governance that lets AI scale beyond pilots. Our sector depth covers FinTech and payments, cybersecurity, cloud and automation.

Through corporate venturing we help the organisation stay ambidextrous — exploiting the core while exploring new businesses: designing corporate venture capital (CVC) units and startup studios, running open innovation and venture-client programmes, managing the innovation portfolio and technology commercialisation, and structuring investments to use incentives such as Iran’s Knowledge-Based Production Leap Law.

Investment Banking

Capital Raising: Equity, Debt & Structured Financing

Independent advice on raising capital: we prepare the company, design the financing and run the process with investors, banks and lenders.

Read moreShow less

We advise on equity raises from private placements to IPO readiness, on debt financing and refinancing, and on project and structured finance — building the financial model, information memorandum and investor materials that make a raise credible.

We then shortlist and approach investors and lenders, compare term sheets, support negotiation and see the transaction through to close. We act as your advisor, not as a bank: we do not underwrite securities or hold client funds, so our advice stays on your side of the table.
