Marcus Houlihan

I have five years of experience working across acquisitions, fundraising, investor reporting, and project management within a small, founder-led company. Being part of a lean, fast-moving team has meant taking on whatever the business needed, from managing deals and financial analysis to supporting marketing, operations, and investor relations. This exposure has given me a strong commercial mindset, a hands-on approach to problem solving, and the ability to operate effectively across multiple workstreams. I’m proactive, adaptable, and thrive in environments where I can combine analytical thinking with execution to help drive growth and deliver results.

I have over five years of experience across startups, real estate, and investment, spanning entrepreneurship, consulting, and development. I founded and ran a property consultancy for two years, working with private clients on acquisitions and portfolio strategy, before spending six months with a SaaS startup supporting its seed raise and proof of concept. For the past three years, I’ve worked in a development role at a small, founder-led firm, gaining hands-on experience across acquisitions, fundraising, investor reporting, and project management. This mix of entrepreneurial and analytical experience has made me commercially minded, adaptable, and comfortable taking ownership in fast-paced, high-growth environments.

I began studying towards a Bachelor’s degree in Business but had to leave university early due to a family situation, after which I moved straight into full-time work
