Mentra's innovation

Mentra’s key innovation lies in its matching algorithm that learns from an employer’s hiring needs and neurodiverse candidate’s strengths to create career success. What’s different? Mentra’s AI goes well beyond traditional job requirements by integrating a holistic understanding of the individual’s personality, environmental preferences, skill levels and ideal job.

Founding story

How did it all start?

Living in a neurodiverse family, Jhillika’s passion stemmed from her personal experience as a caregiver and as the sister of a non-speaking autistic boy, Vikram. Jhillika’s personal experience ignited her passion to advocate for disability rights as well as a career driven by a mission to create an inclusive world.

The founding team

The vision for Mentra was conceived by Jhillika Kumar and Conner Reinhardt in 2019 while studying at Georgia Tech and working with Professor Gregory Abowd on the non-speaking autistic community in Atlanta. To this day, the team is partnered with the Data Science team at Georgia tech.
