We deliver comprehensive expertise to the brilliant founders we back
Approach
more
We have a lot to contribute to our founders - it all makes us grow together. Power is gained by sharing knowledge, not hoarding it.
We help to grow by mentoring, sharing knowledge and expanding networks.

We love the open-door policy and do not believe in hierarchy. We are approachable - our founders talk their problems over and we hurdle them together.
We are the founders’ friends. We are easy.
more
We invest mainly in US and Israeli markets, but we are open for killer teams in EU and UK. We are also ready to consider special opportunities at pre-A stage for worthy ambitious
startups.
We invest in Early Stages.

At Mento we minimize formal routine - no redundant discussions, no unnecessary bureaucracy. We have a call, we make a short analysis, we make our decision.
We make decisions rapidly — after a couple of zoom calls.

With us even a crazy idea can grow into a startup. What seems crazy today might become vital tomorrow.
We are aggressively open-minded.
