We're over the moon to share the news of Samphire Neuroscience' $2.3m Seed round, where we were delighted to double down on our initial investment. For the millions of women around the world who face a monthly battle with debilitating menstrual pain and other symptoms (brain fog, fatigue, mood variability), Samphire may soon provide welcome relief. As in reported in Techstars, Samphire Neuroscience has developed a head-mounted therapeutic wearable that applies a non-invasive, low electrical current type of brain stimulation, called tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation). The wearable targets regions of the brain associated with pain perception and mood regulation to, essentially, reduce sensitivity and block pain signals — applying (non-pharmaceutical) neuromodulation as a targeted treatment for period pain and PMS. Congratulations to Emilė R. and Alex Cook on your big day! #femtech

A huge congratulations to the Everlab team on their $3 million pre-seed round, led by leading European VC fund b2venture. We're also delighted to be investing alongside local funds TEN13, Flying Fox, and Playbook Ventures. Our investment in Everlab is a real vindication of our community-powered model. Sam Kothari has been a valued member of the AfterWork community since he was Head of Growth at Airwallex, and Marc Hermann joined the community soon after he moved to Sydney from Berlin. Along with Dr Steven Lu and Anshul Jain, Everlab is a team of experienced entrepreneurs and operators - with a hunger in their belly to build something significant. We're excited to be on this journey as Everlab leads the paradigm shift from reactive to preventative health, and builds an operating system for wellbeing and longevity! #venturecapital #fundraising #startups #health #longevity

We’ve had an exquisite time falling deep down the #longevity rabbit hole. The space is heating up fast, with a spate of startups cropping up to challenge what we know about living well and living long. Here’s a smattering of what we cover: - The power of preventative care - Why patients are ready to take the reins on their own health outcomes - How billionaires are spending big in longevity in wonderful (and weird) ways - The difference between longevity, healthcare, anti-ageing and positive societal ageing - Why VC’s are historically wary of this opportunity - The potential and pitfalls that come with a culture of diagnostics - Why healthspan is the metric taking centre stage - An overview of longevity startups shaking things up - Philosophical considerations, like what happens if death becomes rare A very big thank you to all our contributors from our passionate community and beyond Phil George Collin Li Max Marchione Stephen Johnston Saint Haven Everlab Dr Steven Lu Tomorrow Biostasis GmbH Loyal Sam Kothari Anshul J.

Big congratulations to Misha Cajic and Anuj Paudel on the announcement of their $2.5m Seed round, led by Main Sequence! We are delighted to be also participating in the round. Although there are many carbon accounting solutions, one of the hardest challenges is accurate calculation of Scope 3 emissions - these are emissions that are generated by third parties, such as suppliers. Accurate measurement of these emissions is important because over 75% of most companies' emissions are Scope 3. Not only does Avarni help companies to precisely track their Scope 3 emissions, it helps companies engage with suppliers and incentivise them to reduce their emissions in order to remain preferred suppliers. In partnership with consulting partners such as Schneider Electric and KPMG, Avarni helps to educate suppliers on how to decarbonize. As regulations to accelerate Scope 3 decarbonization come into force in Australia in mid 2024, we are looking forward to seeing Avarni play a big role! #venturecapital #startups #fundraising #decarbonization #climatetech

SXSW Sydney is here! While we've been inspired by the founder stories we've heard today, we can't help but feel they're been a bit... manicured. On a conference stage, founding stories are understandably presented as linear narratives - hero’s journeys decorated with auspicious milestones, slain incumbents, adoring customers, and glitzy magazine photoshoots. At AFTER DARK - A SXSW UNCONFERENCE, we're doing the opposite. Our lineup of speakers will reflect on the twists and turns of startup journeys - the mistakes, the pivots, the gut-wrenching decisions, the heartbreak, the absurd and the sublime. Featuring stories from the indomitable and vivacious Kirstin Hunter, Kimia Marzban, and Sally Hill, this lineup will debunk startup folklore - in favour of a far more interesting story! We've loved collaborating with Garry Williams 🚜 of 'Fuck Up Nights' fame on this initiative, and can't wait to share this event with you tomorrow night at the Abercrombie hotel in Chippendale! Buy tickets: lu.ma/afterdark (free for SXSW badgeholders).
