About mantro
mantro GmbH, headquartered in Munich, is a company specialized in corporate venture building. From breakthrough technology – for example from corporate R&D or research institutions – mantro builds independent, investable companies and itself invests in the ventures it founds. The platform combines three pillars: technology sourcing, venture building with full implementation responsibility, and direct equity investment (first-round leadership). The services include Corporate Business Creation, Venture Building & Scaling, Digital Product & Tech Development (digital products, AI systems, data platforms) and Process Innovation & Business Scaling. Central digital delivery is provided from Munich, Zagreb and Trnava. Dedicated programs such as NEO, Carve-Out Factory, Technology Transfer, Venture Studios, Alterion, Talos Global and Vantix (AI & robotics for mid-sized mechanical engineering) address recurring challenges. Customers include, among others, Merck, thyssenkrupp, BSH and techpilot.

Quality & Financing
mantro invests directly in the ventures it builds and can lead the first financing round; ventures that do not fit are syndicated on equal footing to relevant funds. As a result, technologies, market data and founding teams are already de-risked at the time of investment.
