Optellum was founded so that every lung cancer patient is treated at the earliest possible stage, and cured. We are redefining early interception of lung disease, by enabling every clinician, in every hospital, to manage their patients in the optimal way. Our first product is the first Clinical Decision Support software for personalized early diagnosis & treatment of lung cancer, based on Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning applied to the world’s largest clinical dataset. We are a team of world-leading medical imaging software, AI, and clinical experts who met at Oxford’s world-renowned computer vision laboratory. Between us, we have track records of bringing innovation to market through over 10 start-up companies, resulting already in 5 trade-sales and one IPO. We are backed by an Advisory Board comprising world-leading clinicians (global authors of medical guidelines) and experts in deep learning. We are building up our development team – join our fight against cancer, working together with former software engineers from top technology companies (Amazon, Facebook, Redhat) and veterans of medical imaging startups.

We're a team of dreamers, animators, game designers, artists and engineers on a mission to inspire curiosity. We craft mobile, AR and VR experiences that fuel imagination and make learning fun. In October 2015 we set out to explore how we can use immersive technologies such as Augmented and Virtual Reality to create a stronger engagement between people and the world around them. In March 2016 we successfully funded our first product 'Virtuali-Tee'​ on Kickstarter. A beautifully simple T-shirt combined with an app that introduced an entirely new way to learn about anatomy – using AR and VR. Our second adventure 'Great White Sharks'​ has become one of the most viewed 360 experiences on YouTube – 20M views and counting! It was also one of the launch titles for Google Daydream platform. We’re now stepping up to ensure a brave new future is closer than ever. Join us!

Wonde is a leading provider of cloud-based school data management that connects educators and pupils with learning applications and classroom tools in a simple and secure way. Wonde extracts data (i.e. student, teacher and parent records) from within a school, stores it in the cloud and then provides third party applications access to relevant, secure, up to date data. Third party applications need to access school data to both set-up and keep their software up-to-date. Rather than individually integrating with every school, Wonde provides an efficient method of data integration which requires only one integration. This saves companies time, money and valuable resources; allowing them to grow faster and focus on their core product. When it comes to schools, Wonde ensures they are able to manage access to their data, giving them greater visibility and control over what information is accessed by third parties. This ensures they’re compliant with their data protection obligations. Schools also now only need to maintain one external connection to their school data, rather than a connection to each software application they use.
