When and where was NeuroCept founded and who were the founders?
Executive summary
Search results show multiple entities using the name “Neurocept.” Corporate-directory entries list a Neurocept Inc. incorporated in San Luis Obispo and founded August 2018 (gust listing) [1]. Consumer-facing supplement sites (many variants) present Neurocept as a dietary nootropic with US-based marketing but do not consistently name founders or a precise founding location beyond marketing copy [2] [1].
1. What “Neurocept” appears to be — multiple brands, one name
The term “Neurocept” in available reporting refers to at least two different kinds of entities: a small incorporated supplement company listed on Gust as “Neurocept Inc.” located in San Luis Obispo, CA and founded in August 2018 [1], and a cluster of commercial supplement websites (neurocept.us, neurocept.co and many mirror domains) marketing a cognitive-support product with marketing copy but without clear corporate-history pages or named founders in the indexed snippets [2] [3].
2. Gust corporate listing: a concrete founding date and place
A Gust company profile gives the most specific founding detail: Neurocept Inc., San Luis Obispo, California, founded August 2018, incorporated as a C‑corp and listed with a single employee on that profile [1]. That source names no individual founders in the snippet provided; it is a third‑party startup directory rather than an official company “About” page [1].
3. Consumer-facing sites: product claims but not founders
Multiple official-looking Neurocept product sites (neurocept.co, neurocept-us.us and many mirrors) present the formula, ingredients, and marketing claims about memory and focus but do not, in the captured results, disclose corporate founders or founding location in the visible snippets. Those pages repeatedly emphasize formulation and retail partnerships (ClickBank) rather than corporate origins or personnel [2] [3] [4].
4. Trust and provenance concerns in existing reporting
Customer reviews and Trustpilot commentary raise concerns about marketing practices and credibility, including allegations that the brand used recognizable personalities or AI‑generated endorsements to suggest expert backing (Trustpilot review of Neurocept) [5]. Those reviews do not identify founders but do alert readers that provenance and endorsement claims should be treated cautiously [5].
5. What the available sources do not say — founders’ names and corporate history
Available sources do not mention named founders for the Neurocept product sites; the Gust listing provides a founding month and place but does not attribute founders in the indexed snippet [1]. There is no official company “About” page captured in these search results that states “founded by X in Y” for Neurocept in the way typical startup press pages do [2] [3].
6. Potential for name confusion with other neurotech firms
Search results include unrelated neurotechnology companies (Precision, Neuralink, Kernel) and news platforms that use similar root terms (neuro‑), which creates risk of conflating distinct firms. For example, Precision’s founders Ben Rapoport and Michael Mager are cited on that company’s site (a different company) [6], and Neuralink’s founding narrative appears on Wikipedia [7]. Readers should not assume those founders are connected to the Neurocept supplement brand without explicit evidence in the sources [6] [7].
7. Practical next steps to verify founders and founding location
To resolve the founders question definitively, consult primary corporate records (state incorporation filings), the company’s official “About” or press pages (not just product pages), or authoritative business databases. The Gust entry gives a starting lead — San Luis Obispo, August 2018 — but does not substitute for filed incorporation documents or a named‑founder statement [1].
Limitations and final note
This analysis relies solely on the supplied search results. The sources provide a Gust listing with founding month/place [1] and multiple product sites and reviews that emphasize marketing and ingredients but do not list founders [2] [3] [5]. Available sources do not mention individual founders’ names for the Neurocept supplement brand beyond the Gust directory summary [1].
