Mangusta Capital

About

Drawing its name from the Italian word for 'Mongoose', Mangusta embodies the spirit of a tactical hunter - swift, precise, and unrelenting in its pursuit of the extraordinary. We seek to build a community that harnesses intellect and the ambition to change the world.

Mangusta is a venture capital and growth equity firm, with its origins in Italy and a global reach. Our mission is to shape the world for future generations by supporting technology innovations that move humanity forward.

We invest in audacious founders building mission-critical capabilities across AI and software. As we reach the tipping point in the advent of AGI, we see the inevitability of unlocking massive productivity gains in complex workflows across all industries.

We invest in the next generation of great consumer brands and technologies enabling delightful consumer experiences. In the past, consumers trusted brands; today, consumers trust influencers. We search for the trendsetters changing the way we eat, play, and live.

Our Team

Our people are our greatest assets. Our team has worked together for over a decade, building products and leading global investment firms. Our team has launched generational products with iconic brands across the globe, generating billions in revenues and building many unicorns in the process.

We’re not simply investors but true partners to our founders. While others are cheerleaders in the boardroom, we love the thrill of being in the trenches – brainstorming strategy and tapping into our global network of investors and operators to drive real results.

Smash Capital

We started with the ambition to build the firm where we would want to go work every day. Smash Capital began as our startup. Our culture is extremely entrepreneurial. While our ambition is to build a generational firm and to grow our organization considerably, today we are enjoying the advantages inherent in a small team. We take advantage of our speed, real-time communication and flat organizational structure every day. We are hyper aware of the critical contribution of every member of our core team, and we encourage everyone here to think like an owner. Our founding team includes builders and creators who didn’t love the venture capital “product” we were offered as founders. We approach founders with enormous respect and a bit of awe at the enormity of what they attempt to do - the overwhelming personal stakes, sacrifice, belief and commitment they demonstrate in their life’s work. When most choose touch football, founders choose tackle. We work very hard; the founders we work with work harder. We believe in the power of creative constraints. When brainstorming a list of potential names for the firm, we limited ourselves to one syllable, spelled like it sounds, so a then 7-year-old could say where their parent worked. The inspiration for the name Smash came from the sound of a collision in a comic book: BOOM SMASH POW. We value, respect, and partner daily with the biggest and best-known competitors in our industry. They and we know we are a little different. We know that our most important core competency every day is finding and winning great deals. But we know that our lasting mark is in helping great people and great companies succeed over time. That’s how our investors grade our performance and how we grade ourselves.
