About Mentriva
Cross-border transactions still run on fragmented systems and manual processes that slow execution, increase costs, and introduce operational risk. Mentriva brings logistics data, documentation, and settlement onto a single programmable platform so that trade can move with more speed and certainty.
From first interest to final release of funds, we coordinate the information and flows that sit between counterparties — giving traders, banks, logistics providers, and insurers a shared, reliable view of every transaction.
Make global trade faster, cheaper, and more reliable — by turning settlement into an automated, data-driven process instead of a chain of emails, PDFs, and manual approvals.
Mentriva provides the core rails to execute a transaction end-to-end, so that every step — from shipment to settlement — is connected and auditable.

Mentriva is designed as long-term financial infrastructure. The bar is reliability: if institutions are going to settle meaningful volumes through a new rail, it has to behave predictably across market cycles, jurisdictions, and counterparties.
The team blends experience in trade finance, blockchain engineering, and hands-on operational work in real-world markets. We develop the platform alongside traders, banks, logistics providers, and insurers to ensure it reflects actual workflows rather than idealized diagrams.
Being part of UC Berkeley’s Sutardja Center and Catalyst incubator gives us access to a community of researchers, founders, and industry experts who care deeply about how digital infrastructure reshapes global trade.
Mentriva is co-founded by Charles Kudelski and Gleb Zakhartchenko, combining backgrounds across finance, real assets, and technology.
Two founders for now — the team section will evolve as the company grows.
