Combining AI/ML and advanced NLP to transform behavioural science into exotic factors. We integrate real-time market data, alternative streams, and behavioural insights through automated pipelines, enabling fast hypothesis testing and signals that capture true market complexity.
About Us
Who Are We?
Founded in 2020, Mentalok (Hong Kong) Limited is a Hong Kong-based technology startup integrating expertise in equity investment, trading, data science, and software development. Our core strength is harnessing advanced AI/ML, natural language processing (NLP), and large language models (LLM) to mental health and financial contexts.
Mentalok harnesses insights from DSM-IV and DSM-5 psychiatric frameworks, combining proprietary and open data to develop detailed persona pools that realistically emulate retail and institutional participants in the secondary market. By integrating behaviourally informed personas with real-time market microstructure and alternative data streams through scalable, automated ingestion pipelines, we enable rapid hypothesis testing, rigorous backtesting, and the generation of signals that reflect complex, heterogeneous market behaviour. In parallel, Mentalok is also actively engaged in local educational initiatives, fostering the next generation of technology talents in GBA, China by promoting AI literacy.
Mentalok is a graduate company of the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park (HKSTP) Incu-App Programme (2023), currently an I&T tenant company of HKSTP, and a member company of the NVIDIA Inception Programme.
