Mentessa has received one million euros from Eleven Ventures in a seed financing round. In the second closing, several German and international business angels also invested in the start-up.

Tina Ruseva and Andrey Andreev founded Mentessa in Munich in 2019. In 2020, the start-up launched its employee platform for companies.

The start-up's customers include Deutsche Telekom and Linde.

The start-up financed itself via bootstrapping in the first year after its market launch. Now the growth of the corona years is to be continued with outside capital.
