MeVitae offers a DE&I ecosystem of HR tools designed to detect and mitigate cognitive and algorithmic bias across hiring processes. Its platform identifies imbalances in applicant success rates, recommends targeted interventions, and provides analytics to quantify the impact of those interventions. The company serves clients across finance, government and technology, including HS2, TfL and The Good Food Institute, and has partnerships with Oracle and Microsoft. MeVitae reports clients have seen roughly a 30% increase in gender and ethnic diversity and the business grew 350% over the past 12 months while operating profitably. Founded by Oxford alumni neuroscientist Riham Satti and computer scientist Vivek Doraiswamy, MeVitae is based in the Harwell innovation hub in Oxford. The company plans to use new funding to accelerate product development and support rapid expansion into the United States and Canada. MeVitae develops an “Augmented Intelligence” recruitment product that plugs into existing applicant tracking systems to score CVs against job specs, provide a transparent roadmap for each score, and redact potentially biasing information. The system analyses every CV component, uses web reasoning and NLP to validate and identify details that could lead to discrimination, then returns ranked, anonymised shortlists inside the employer’s ATS. MeVitae’s software learns from each employer’s choices over time so recommendations become more responsive to company-specific hiring priorities. The startup’s initial focus is scaling high-volume hiring while removing unconscious bias from shortlisting decisions. MeVitae was founded by neuroscientist Riham Satti and computer scientist Vivek Doriaiswamy and is based in Oxford. Financially, the company has disclosed a £500,000 funding round and previously received about £250,000 in grants used to finance three years of R&D.
