Tech entrepreneur raises £130m for acquisition vehicle as SPAC craze hits London
JLL said it expects central London office take-up to improve this year
Tech entrepreneur Vin Murria is set to announce she has raised £130m for a London-listed acquisition vehicle to pursue a takeover in the software industry as the interest in “blank cheque” companies booms.
Murria, who became chairman of Marwyn Acquisition Company 1 (Mac 1) last year, is expected to announce the fundraise tomorrow in what is expected to be the biggest amount raised by a cash shell in London, Sky News reported.
The takeover target has not yet been identified, but it is expected to be in the software industry and the broadcaster said Murria is interested in a privately held company that is ready to become traded on a stock market.
