We are delighted to introduce you to our next cohort of impact businesses taking part in our six-month accelerator programme. Hear what they have to say about their businesses below.
EcoTextura | Radhika Srinivasan
EcoTextura creates proprietary, eco-friendly & inclusive-design Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as well as non-woven fabrics for the medical industry. While the concept was first developed in 2015, I started working on it full-time in July 2019, just months prior to Covid-19 beginning.
In this transformative year, EcoTextura has designed, been approved and supplied its innovative PPE in bulk to national public health organisations including the NHS and HSE (Ireland), local councils, numerous disability charities, schools, emergency services and institutions across the country and world.
Anomie | Nina Salomons & Liam Mckill
Anomie is the first all-in-one solution for real-time creative arts therapy. Think Zoom, but with VR and a dashboard where therapists can customise creative tools their clients can use.
We exist because individuals seeking therapy remotely may be struggling to connect with their therapist using current teleconferencing solutions. They do not create safe environments and thanks to poor use of camera and lighting, clients can hide their face or body during therapy sessions.
Unpckd | Tracey Banks
Unpckd is on a mission to make refill shopping mainstream in the UK. Tackling the problem of unsustainable amounts of disposable and single-use packaging in our grocery shopping, Unpckd offers a package-free refill delivery service for dry food, toiletries and cleaning products in reusable, returnable containers.
You order online, we deliver to your doorstep and when you need more we swap full for empties milkman-style. All powered by 100% electric and local people.
Pushing Envelopes | Katharine Pratt
Pushing Envelopes is a premium stationery and gifting company that helps millennial women to invest time in cultivating their friendships, with a curated selection of limited edition products and educational content. We make it simple for people to cultivate their friendships, discover unique designs and support great causes.
All our products include a charitable donation and royalty for the artist who provides the design. Our digital platform will lift the administrative and operational burden from charities that want to offer personalised greeting cards, along with providing a new revenue stream. Equally, we believe it is critical to remunerate artists competitively to provide high calibre products.
Veond | Flor Oliveira
Veond is the daily lifestyle “go-to” app for all conscious consumers looking to improve their environmental footprint. We do this by gathering in one place all ethical, vegan and sustainable restaurants, experiences, products and services, always with benefits and discounts in order to make this lifestyle easier and more affordable for everyone.
The Planet Life | Jan Hellemans
We’re on a mission to unlock the world’s knowledge and turn a sustainable society into a reality. We exist to empower society in taking action and collaborate towards a healthy future for planet and humanity.
We’re building a tech solution to make climate action accessible to everyone and connect citizens to climate solutions. Using AI & ML, our community & learning platform delivers tailored experiences for personal growth and accelerate, scale and normalise opportunities for a healthy planet & society.
Saisha London | Namitha Muthukrishnan
My mission is to improve skincare and wellbeing by using the ancient teachings of Ayurveda and making it accessible to everyone, everywhere, to inspire beauty inside and out with confidence. My business takes a 360-degree view of skincare by understanding that good skin is an outcome of the four pillars of wellbeing – Sleep, relaxation, exercise and nutrition.
