As an organization founded by makers and tinkerers, mantro has become home to people who just make, sometimes on their own, sometimes in collaboration with companies. Over the past 17 years, mantro has worked on many different things in many areas of innovation and entrepreneurship, from traditional IT services to joint-venturing with corporate clients. We have always been about building good products and companies. Our strategy was to build. This made it impossible to have a clear and focused business strategy, which hindered the promising opportunities in the market and within mantro.
With our decision to restructure mantro, we decided to combine our implementation expertise and speed in building the thing in a single company. And so the mantro product studio was born.
To get things rolling, we legally founded the mantro product studio. We asked two of mantro's most experienced employees and executives to lead the company, and we started innovating with our customers. And it has worked beautifully. Clients love the work, and the company is growing at a healthy pace. Oliver Thum and Yannic Metz, both managing directors, are focused on sustainable business growth to avoid the build-up of organizational debt that mantro had experienced in the past during periods of strong growth.
In 2022, mantro product studio has grown from 5 to 30 employees. In 2023, mantro product studio aims to increase its focus on implementation and a shorter time-to-market. At the same time, the organization remains an experiment in collaborative and transparent operating models.
