About us

Intermentis grew out of the recognition that many people struggle with their doorstep.

Initially our focus was on older people living independently, but as we investigated this area it became clear that dealing with the doorstep is a broader problem.

The key challenges are uncertainty regarding visitors, which can lead to fear of scams and anxiety; physically being able to reach the door, which can result in missed visitors and lost autonomy; and missed deliveries, which can create gaps in essential services and cause stress for family and carers.

Between us we've shipped products before, but this one is personal. We test Soter at our own families' doors.
