MENTHORAI Italiano

About us

Why we exist

MENTHORAI was born from a true story. The founder watched someone close to him struggle at a science-focused upper secondary school: not for lack of intelligence, but because traditional methods were not designed for the way he learned. The first prototype was built on a kitchen table, to fill a gap that no existing solution covered.

Why we are a Società Benefit

MENTHORAI is incorporated as a Società Benefit under Italian Law 208/2015, the Italian counterpart of a benefit corporation. This means that, alongside profit, its articles of association bind the company to pursue purposes of common benefit: fostering social inclusion, eliminating all unjustified discrimination and reducing inequalities between people.

It is not a communication label. It is a clause of the company's corporate purpose, and it has a concrete consequence for the product: affordable pricing is a commitment that follows from those purposes, not a commercial lever.

The annual impact report is published on our website, as Italian law requires.

Open to collaboration

We welcome dialogue with schools, universities, clinical centres, associations and institutions that share the goal of tackling early school leaving, in Italy and abroad.

The MENTHORAI platform is currently available in Italian only. If you would like to try it, you can do so at app.menthorai.ai, keeping in mind that the interface and the lessons are in Italian.
