Mana Ventures

Mana Ventures is a San Francisco-based early-stage venture firm and AngelList syndicate founded by Morgan Schwanke, focused on deep tech and AI. The firm invests across artificial intelligence, software, space, robotics, autonomy, healthtech, and biotech. It operates one of AngelList's most active syndicates, with a network of over 7,000 LPs described as the 'Mana Collective'—a community of founders, operators, executives, and investors who provide value-add support to portfolio companies. Mana Ventures typically participates at the Seed and Series A stages and does not lead rounds, preferring to co-invest alongside quality lead investors. The firm runs a Scout Program through which scouts can earn 20–50% carried interest on deals they source, with no fees or accreditation requirements. Founders can pitch directly via email at morgan@manaventures.vc; there is no formal application portal. Portfolio companies include Figure AI, K2 Space, Ursa Major, Abridge, Unity Technologies, and SpaceX.
