Core Values

We believe business can be a force for good in the world today.

Every company we support exists to solve real problems for real people, to create meaningful work, and to make life better for those around us right now.

I started Mandal because I wanted to be part of something larger than profit alone. Something that contributes to the communities we live in, work in, and care about.

We support entrepreneurs who share this vision. Those who build technology that serves people rather than exploiting them, and create value that enriches lives today.

This approach is both privilege and responsibility. The privilege to support meaningful work and the responsibility to choose carefully and thoughtfully.

We measure success by the problems we help solve, the jobs we help create, and the ways we make the world more livable for each other.

At Mandal, we choose to build things that matter.
