A collapsed deal, an escalating power struggle: McMakler is in the midst of a crisis. Two major investors are vying for control – risking the company's fate.

"Manager Magazin" calls the current developments at McMakler a "bizarre showdown." As the magazine reports, a new financing round for the proptech startup has fallen through for the time being . The framework conditions for this round are particularly noteworthy.

McMakler has been in negotiations for a new round of financing for some time now, which Gründerszene has also learned about from insiders.

A power struggle between VCs Target Global and IGP has now escalated, reports "Manager Magazin." An insider confirmed the incident to Gründerszene.

According to a person familiar with the matter, both Target Global and Israel Growth Partners (IGP) have submitted "hard-hitting term sheets" that would grant them significant control over the company.

The situation is apparently so serious that investors are holding each other up in arms. If a deal doesn't materialize, it could spell the end for McMakler. We spoke to an insider – and also to McMakler himself.
