For property, business & start-up investors in the UK
Mella connects you with compatible investors based on your goals, experience, capital, interests and location — helping you find the right person to build an opportunity with.
Why you match
Location, experience, investment type, capital, risk, goals, timeframe and skills — plus what you each bring and what you’re looking for. Every match shows its score and the reasons behind it, factor by factor, so matching feels considered rather than just “nearby”.

“You’re both interested in HMOs, have similar investment budgets and are looking for a joint venture partner.”
How it works
A few short steps: what you invest in, what you can bring and the partner you’re after. Your capital only ever shows as a range.
Search within 5, 10, 25 or 50 miles — or anywhere in the UK — ranked by compatibility, with the option to browse investment opportunities near you.
Tap Connect on anyone who fits. When they connect back, it’s a match and your private chat opens.
Message, call or video call inside Mella, and suggest a time to meet when you’re ready.

Carry out your own due diligence, use appropriate legal agreements and seek independent professional advice before committing any money.
We never show your exact location.
Other members see roughly how far away you are — nothing more.
Strangers can’t message you.
Chat only opens when you’ve both chosen to connect.
Build your profile in about five minutes and discover compatible investors near you.
