Manchester-based property investment platform Mr Investa has officially closed after four and a half years in business.
Founder Ryan Hughes announced the news in an emotional LinkedIn post, revealing the toll the past 19 months have taken on his mental health.
“I am absolutely devastated,” he wrote. “After four and a half years, I’ve made the incredibly tough and sad decision to close Mr Investa.
“Smiling on the outside, hurting on the inside – that’s been my reality for the past 19 months.”
Founded in 2020 and based in Salford’s MediaCity, Mr Investa aimed to simplify buy-to-let investing through technology.
The platform connected landlords, agents and investors, offering virtual viewings, digital offers and management tools.
It quickly built a reputation as one of the North West’s most innovative PropTech startups, attracting funding and a loyal customer base, as well as gaining a spot on BusinessCloud’s PropTech 50 as recently as September.
