BayBG's silent participation in company builder Mantro

BayBG is investing in Mantro with mezzanine capital. This financial foundation is intended to contribute to the further growth of the Munich-based company builder.

Ulrich Strobel, Investment Manager at BayBG Bavarian investment company, explains Mantro’s strategy as follows:

"Mantro GmbH distinguishes itself from other digitalization consultants or system houses with its exceptional business model. It supports medium-sized companies and corporations in the development of new digital business models as a company builder. To this end, Mantro is founding a new company with an industrial client as part of a joint venture that implements digital transformation processes."

With 75 employees in the core organization at three locations, Mantro According to Mantro, 25 companies have been established using this approach to date, enabling industrial companies to implement new digitalization measures. The collaboration is largely identical: If the new business model proves successful, the industrial company and other strategic partners contribute additional capital to the joint venture. The company's operational operations are transferred from Mantro experts to internal teams that Mantro is building up organizationally.

Numerous opportunities for digital transformation

“With this type of collaboration, we regularly succeed in combining the best of both worlds: the dynamism and new approaches of a young digital startup on the one hand, and experience and organizational competence on the other,”

explains Mantro Managing Director Manfred Tropper his company's recipe for success. He continues:

"We see numerous opportunities for digital transformation in almost all sectors, which we can implement together with companies. With BayBG's capital, we are well positioned for future growth and the development of additional digital business models. Our common goal is to successfully implement further innovations in Germany and Bavaria and, in doing so, create sustainable jobs."
