Why Mentum

Why We Are Excited About Mentum

A shared vision for AI-native supply chains, built by founders who understand both technology and logistics.

Mentum was founded by Gustavo Trigos, a YC alum and former BlackRock AI quant with AI engineering, data science, and supply-chain expertise. Mentum built AI agents that automate procurement and supply-chain workflows by using LLMs to aggregate and standardize unstructured, email-driven data, with human-in-the-loop verification.

R&D Acceleration

Mentum has been building AI agents for supply-chain teams at mid-market U.S. manufacturers, complementing Nuvocargo’s NuvoOS roadmap for North America freight.

Aligned Philosophy

Build AI agents for tedious, repetitive work without requiring users to adopt new platforms (email, text, etc.), enabling humans to focus on relationships.

Production Experience

Implemented agents that automate quoting, proposal, and purchase-order workflows; engaged with 300+ VPs/Directors of Supply Chain and visited dozens of factories.

Founder DNA

YC founder DNA and a multicultural team across the U.S. and Latin America, aligned with Nuvocargo’s culture.
