We believe
trauma shouldn’t
be a life sentence.
We believe the
brain can be rewired.
Nuri exists because patients deserve more than survival.
Our job isn’t to soothe the brain. It’s to help it heal.
That’s why we built the world’s first emotion BCI.
To change the circuitry of suffering, and restore hope.
Why We Built Nuri
When nothing else works, people deserve more than coping.
We built Nuri to change what’s possible:
To reprogram the emotional brain, starting with trauma, and expanding across psychiatry.
Nuri isn’t a patch. It’s a reset.
It’s a promise:
That even in the darkest corners, there’s a way out.
Our Leadership Team
Nuri is built by leaders in brain science, clinical psychiatry, and advanced BCI technology, with a proven track record in medtech development and commercialization.

We built it to end it.”

Our Values.
We listen to the brain. And when trauma tries to speak, we train the brain to react back.
Truth
We follow the signal. Not assumptions. Not shortcuts. Just neuroscience that listens, learns, and acts.
Compassion
Technology means nothing without the people it serves. We lead with empathy for patients, families, and the clinicians who carry their pain.
Courage
We don’t build safer status quos. We build new frontiers. For the patients who refuse to give up. For the future that won’t build itself.
Responsibility
We’re working in the most intimate terrain: the human mind. Our bar is higher. For ethics. For safety. For trust.
Resolve
We’re here for the patients who’ve been told “nothing more can be done.” And we won’t stop until there is.
Precision
Emotion is not random; it’s circuitry. We target the source with clarity, not guesswork.
We believe tech must do better.
Nuri is committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and mission-driven team. We value every voice and believe the best ideas come from everywhere.
Our Culture
We’re building more than technology; we’re building a future where trauma doesn’t win.
We value people who chase bold ideas with humility. Who care about precision and compassion. Who want to work on something that truly matters.
We’re looking for top-tier scientists, engineers, and clinicians ready to build the future of interventional psychiatry.
If that sounds like you, we’d love to meet you.
