Manifesto

Mangusta takes its name from the Italian for mongoose - the only animal that hunts what others won't. We built our firm the same way: swift, precise, and relentless in pursuit of the founders shaping what the world runs on next.

About

Mangusta is a venture capital and growth equity firm headquartered in Silicon Valley, investing globally. Our mission is bigger than capital: we exist to lift audacious founders and to open the doors that money alone cannot.

Our roots run through the Luxottica ecosystem and Europe's great tradition of building brands the whole world loves - a heritage of craftsmanship, patience, and ambition that we bring to every company we back.

And our reach runs east. Deep ties across Korea's extraordinary technology and consumer ecosystem give our founders new markets, new partners, and new momentum. Two continents of networks, one purpose: helping the next generation of builders change how the world works, plays, and lives.

Prior Investments

Before Mangusta, our team stood early behind the brands that defined a decade. That track record is the foundation - and the standard - for everything we back today.
