Company Description:

MARC is an AI-native enterprise infrastructure company based in Dublin, Ireland. We build autonomous AI agents that turn fragmented contract data into live, enforceable operational truth — connecting contracts directly to invoices, payments, and financial systems for large, multi-asset organisations.

Today, institutional operators managing tens of thousands of assets rely on disconnected Contract Management Systems (CMS') , Accounts Payable (AP) platforms, and legacy workflows that were never designed to work together. The result is manual reconciliation, hidden billing errors, and recurring financial leakage at scale. MARC acts as the connective layer between these systems, continuously extracting contract terms, enforcing pricing and escalations, and validating invoices before payment — without human intervention.

We work with some of the largest real estate owners and operators across Ireland, the U.S., and Canada, representing over $67B+ in assets under management. While MARC started in residential real estate, the platform is designed as horizontal infrastructure for any enterprise with large, recurring vendor spend and complex contracts — including telecom, utilities, logistics, and multi-site retail.

The company is backed by a group of experienced operators and over a dozen founders behind multiple large exits. After a period of rapid growth with some of the worlds largest funds, MARC is scaling aggressively across geographies and customers, moving quickly to define a new category at the intersection of AI, finance operations, and enterprise infrastructure.
