Manta backs founders who
-
We back founders who understand their industry inside out. People with real insight into their audience, competitors, and value drivers. Experience brings focus, speed, and credibility when building from the ground up.
-
Founders should have genuine skin in the game, whether through financial commitment or dedicated sweat equity. Shared risk ensures aligned incentives and stronger execution.
-
We focus on sectors that are growing, evolving, and attracting long-term investment. By targeting markets of tomorrow, we create events with built-in demand and lasting relevance.
-
We look for bold concepts that challenge convention or define new categories. Disruption creates differentiation and differentiation creates acquisition appeal.
-
Every venture we back must demonstrate how it can achieve sustainable profit within a realistic timeframe. We prioritize operational discipline and measurable progress from launch to exit.
-
Scalable formats can replicate success across regions and markets. We design events with models that travel, ready for global growth or portfolio expansion.
