People at Inventr

Inventr was founded directly from problems that I (Manu) experienced while being fully immersed in deep tech and R&D. After cold-emailing my way into grad school (a story for another day), I cold-emailed my way into helping start and run a neurosurgery research lab. I was fortunate to be part of projects like building dissolvable brain sensors and implants for regenerating nerves (published in Nature, CBS and more). Starting a company wasn’t something I’d considered, but I vividly remember the difficulties in trying to translate incredible lab research to commercialized real-world solutions.
