Behind the scenes
Mats
Pagels
I am Mats and the Founder of Maneki Ventures. I am passionate about building products and turning ideas into reality. With extensive experience in prototyping and product development, I take a hands-on, no-nonsense approach to bring visions to life. Always excited by new ideas, I combine creativity and execution to help future entrepreneurs create products that truly connect and deliver impact.
Maneki
Neko
Say hello to Maneki Neko, the silver superstar who keeps the luck rolling and the vibes immaculate. Part good-luck charm, part zen master, this cat has one paw in the future and the other firmly waving at success to come knocking.
Don’t be fooled by the polished exterior - its real magic is in keeping me cool under pressure and reminding me that fortune favors the bold (and the well-prepared). Whether it’s big wins, bright ideas, or just good coffee, this little legend has a knack for making things happen. At Maneki Ventures, I call it luck - but really, it’s just the cat.
