Thesis

Mantis invests opportunistically in Seed and Series A technology-enabled startups, leveraging deep social capital across tech, media, entertainment, and finance to provide unmatched GTM support. The firm is founder-obsessed and differentiates through celebrity network access, customer introductions, talent acquisition help, and brand amplification.

Likely not a fit for

Not focused on any specific anti-thesis; broad mandate. Less likely to invest in pure hardware, deep science without tech-enablement, or companies that cannot benefit from network/brand amplification.
