About Mentat Studios
Technology should give you your time back.
Somewhere along the way, running a small business turned into managing a dozen apps that were supposed to help. We started Mentat to turn that around — to keep the technical work on our side of the table and hand the hours back to you.
Why we exist
Plain tools for people who do real work.
The owners we work with are electricians, dentists, landscapers and shop managers — people who are excellent at their trade and never signed up to be an IT department. They do not need another dashboard to check. They need the phone answered, the invoices paid and the quotes out the door.
So that is what we do. You tell us, in plain language, what is eating your week. We build the automation, connect it to the tools you already use, and run it for you. When something needs a human you call one — us — and we pick up.
We keep our client list small on purpose. It means more of our attention on your setup and a real relationship instead of a support ticket. And if we do not think we can genuinely save you time, we will tell you that too.
People who are great at a trade — not at IT.
We work best with owner-run businesses where the phone matters, the schedule matters, and nobody has a spare afternoon to configure software.
Trades
HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, landscaping — anyone whose day is spent on a job and not at a desk.
Practices
Dental, medical, veterinary and clinics, where a missed call is a missed appointment.
Shops & services
Salons, studios, repair shops and local retail — small teams wearing a lot of hats.
How we work
Clear standards at every step.
Three principles shape every recommendation, build and handoff.
-
Clarity
Plain from day one
Clear language, visible tradeoffs and a plan you can explain in one sentence.
-
Value
Honest about fit
If automation will not save meaningful time or money, we will say so before you spend either.
-
Support
People after launch
Real people build, explain, monitor and support what goes live. You are never routed into a ticket queue.
Nationwide service
Wherever you work, we work with you.
Mentat serves businesses across the United States. Every client gets the same thoughtful process, flat pricing and direct access to the people doing the work — no matter where the business is based.
Founding clients
We are taking on a small group.
More of our time on your setup, and a founding rate. If that sounds like a fit, the first conversation is free.
