Description
Initial phase investment fund committed to Mental and Spiritual Well-being.
As a forward-looking investment company, this firm is deeply committed to fueling the future of mental wellness, investing up to $100k into pre-Series A start-ups developing innovative mental wellness solutions. The company identifies the burgeoning need for personalized, impactful, and science-backed mental wellness tools and sees this as an opportunity to enhance human wellbeing across the globe. Its investment focus lies in five broad themes: developing mental wellness measurement infrastructure, advancing data-driven brain training, creating scalable peak experiences, increasing accessibility and reducing costs for mental wellness support, and refining wellness through improved nutrition, sleep, and movement habits. In addition to mental wellness, the company also maintains a keen interest in the EdTech sector and the African continent. Part of their investment strategy includes fostering mindfulness and mental training for youth, constructing scalable models for job creation (particularly in Africa), enhancing workforce upskilling and continuous training models, and innovating higher education programs and pathways. They allocate 10% of their funds to EdTech and Africa-focused investments. The firm prides itself on being an early-stage investor with a hands-on approach, acting as a competitive advantage for its partners. They believe in not only providing financial backing but also bringing value through their operational expertise and passion for the projects they invest in. Their portfolio includes companies from around the world, working on a diverse range of initiatives, all with the common goal of improving mental wellness. Among their investments are companies like Sahha, which is developing an API for the mind, and Jhourney, which uses brainwave data to guide meditation. Other ventures include NexStem's intuitive and affordable brain-computer interface solutions, Lief's FDA-approved wearable for mental health, and WellSet's comprehensive employee wellness platform. They've also backed neurodiversity champion Numo, brain-stimulation developer Roga, and Supermind, which uses EEG technology for brain health assessment and retraining. Their EdTech and Africa-focused investments include Boundless, a company that promotes fulfilling lifestyles, and Craydel, further underscoring their diverse and impactful portfolio.
