We build companies that actually work
mantro is a venture building platform. We take breakthrough technologies and build them into companies that scale.
We're not advisors. Not a fund. Not an accelerator. We're a fully integrated system that combines technology sourcing, professional venture building, and direct capital investment — because none of these works alone.
We call it the Golden Triangle.
We build new business with corporates
When a corporation has a strategic opportunity, an underused technology, or an innovation initiative that needs to become a real business — we take it out of their organization and build it independently.
mantro takes full ownership and runs the company. The corporate funds the build and keeps strategic influence. When it works, they acquire a proven business. We bring the entrepreneurial speed, structure, and 20 years of venture building expertise.
We create independent deep tech companies
When breakthrough technology — from corporate R&D or research institutions — deserves to become its own company, we structure the carve-out, build the venture thesis, assemble the founding team, and co-invest directly.
We can also lead the first round
mantro operates its own venture capital arm. When a venture fits our investment thesis, we can lead the first financing round ourselves.
This makes us fundamentally different from every other venture builder: we don't hand off to investors — we are one. And because we syndicate on an eye-to-eye level with other funds, our ventures get warm introductions into a curated investor network — not cold outreach.

Entrepreneurial. Technical. Pragmatic.
We build things. We ship things. We found things. Every engagement is designed to produce a real outcome — a company, a product, a business unit — not a report.
80+ people
60% with technology backgrounds. Engineers, product managers, venture architects, designers, data scientists, AI specialists — and the founders who've done this before.
Global reach
We operate from Munich (HQ), Zagreb, Trnava and New York. Our core delivery — technology, venture architecture, execution — runs from Munich, Zagreb, and Trnava. Local offices focus on commercial relationships, partnerships, and market development.
What we value
We believe the best work happens when smart people trust each other. No politics. No ego. No theater. Just build.
