As company builder

we partner with established businesses like you, to create tailor-made companies for the digital change your business needs.
OUR KEY VALUES

More than an affair

mantro is all about substantial company building.
We don’t validate and leave. We don’t find someone else to do our work. We are a long-term joint venture partner for real digital innovation.

New Business Discovery

Our structured ideation approach is a unique methodology for both B2B and B2C products that lays out an idea portfolio, identifies potential gaps and evaluates strategies.

Trustful Partnerships

It’s not our thing to be told what to do. We take the hard decision and kill things that won’t work. We build slam dunk products together with our partners and decide for the best approach on an equal level.

Real Validation

We are not a market research institute. We validate by going out, taking real risk, selling the product to a significant number of real customers and by iterating on our hypotheses using MVPs.

The Full Journey

Our joint journey doesn’t end after the sexy part of market validation and MVPs. We stick around until the business is in scale, discover and involve partners and improve the product in lean start-up mode.
WHAT WE DO

Digital Innovation Process

Over 12 years of experience, over 500 projects and the development of more than 15 ventures led us to our digital innovation process. It follows an investment logic, similar to a start-up’s journey.
