Management report
October 2026
Overview
October 2026 was Talmenta's strongest month to date. The company appointed its first commercial lead, secured new client terms and entered its first partnership with an AI-for-mathematics company. An existing grant-funded project continued to generate revenue.
Talmenta provides talent-based research management to mathematicians, organizing collaborators, structuring projects and keeping research moving.
Highlights

- Ongoing project. A grant-funded AI-for-mathematics research project continued under Talmenta's management.
- New client. A professor at a German university accepted terms for a research project in arithmetic geometry. Collaborator recruitment is under way.
- AI-lab partnership. A leading AI-for-mathematics company will provide platform access to researchers on a Talmenta-managed project, from December through March.
- Pipeline. Projects are being scoped with researchers at UC Berkeley and Imperial College London.
- Funding. Talmenta opened discussions with a major AI-for-math fund and an AI-for-math award programme. A leading US mathematics institute invited Talmenta to propose a workshop on verifying AI-assisted mathematics.
Team
Stephanie Covey, a former sales director at Nexstar, joined as Head of Growth and Partnerships. Talmenta is building out research management, project development, marketing and advisory roles. Candidates are selected through talent assessment and structured interviews.
