Investment thesis

Mantis VC invests opportunistically in early-stage, technology-enabled startups at seed and Series A. Its edge is social capital: leveraging a broad LP base and deep relationships across tech, media, entertainment, and finance to support portfolio companies with go-to-market, branding, storytelling, warm introductions, recruiting, and customer acquisition. The firm positions itself as founder-obsessed, treating the investment as the start of a hands-on partnership rather than a transaction. With 130+ investments, Mantis emphasizes diversity of backgrounds and perspectives on the cap table, aiming to build a respected, generational fund rather than a typical celebrity vehicle.
