Maybern provides an AI-driven operating system that automates back- and middle-office operations for private equity, real estate, and credit fund managers.
WHO WE ARE Maybern is transforming the way private fund managers effectively manage their funds through cutting edge technology: an operating system with deterministic guard rails underneath, agents on top. Maybern is founded by top engineering experts with deep knowledge of the fund management space. Private funds manage $15T in capital and are growing at 20% YoY, but with increasing regulatory scrutiny and investor demands for transparency, the need for more modern, fully agentic solutions to help private fund CFOs is crucial. This is where Maybern comes in. We are equipping fund managers with a fully agentic operating system for private fund management, enabling private investment managers to focus on what they do best: driving returns for their investors. We are backed by leading venture capital firms and a large number of strategic investors.

You’ll step in where problems are most complex or blocked and help teams move forward with clarity and confidence. - Partner: Work closely with product, design, and domain experts to translate unclear or evolving requirements into robust technical solutions.
