Mentat Research builds and launches early-stage ventures at the boundary of machine intelligence and human capability. Most of our work is not yet public.
Make contactWe form companies internally — small teams, long horizons, problems chosen for difficulty rather than fashion.
Original work in computation, inference, and decision systems. Published selectively. Deployed quietly.
Tools that extend what a single trained mind can hold, weigh, and decide. The instrument matters less than the operator.
The machines we build are not replacements for thought. They are amplifiers of it — and the difference is everything.
Founders, researchers, and the otherwise unclassifiable. We read everything that comes through, and we'd genuinely like to hear from you.
