The trillions of microbes that call us home –the human microbiome – perform critical functions that preserve our health including helping develop our immune system, manufacturing nutrients such as vitamins, and harvesting energy from the diet. Alterations of the human microbiome are increasingly recognized as a key factor in autoimmune, metabolic, infectious and many other diseases.
For millions of years, humans have co-evolved with this community of microbes, communicating in an ancient language that holds critical clues about how autoimmune and infectious diseases develop. This language is based on a system of signals that our resident microbes use to successfully colonize us, such as byproducts of bacterial metabolism and factors that bacteria use to adapt to human niches. Recent discoveries have shown that most of these signals do not lead to disease, rather, they promote our long-term survival.
Vedanta is developing a novel class of therapies that modulate pathways of interaction between the human microbiome and the host immune system. Vedanta was co-founded by PureTech Health and a group of world renowned experts in immunology and microbiology

We are a pioneering healthcare company that aims to transform health through the power of genomics. The company was formed in 2014 by four world-leading statistical and human geneticists at the University of Oxford, including Professor Sir Peter Donnelly and Professor Gil McVean. We use large-scale genetic information to realise preventative medicine and improve drug discovery.
Were a world-leader in genomic prevention: a paradigm-changing approach to sustainable healthcare which for the first time allows reliable, personalized estimates of risk for all the common diseases and cancers, well ahead of disease manifestation, allowing accurate and early interventions and tailored screening.
Our proprietary algorithms and databases offer something no competitor can: the ability to accurately link minute variation across the entire genome to changes in thousands of biological measurements and disease outcomes, to generate population-level insights for healthcare systems, individual-level insights for clinicians about the risk of common diseases, and new understanding of disease processes.
In August 2018, we announced a multi-year collaboration with Vertex to use human genetics and data science to advance discovery of precision medicines. We also has several pilot programmes in development within UK and US healthcare systems.
Our team is a multi-disciplinary group focused on finding powerful and creative solutions for bringing subject-leading science to as wide an audience as possible, and, in doing so, offer the chance of transforming lives around the world. The workforce is highly qualified and consists of over 90 people, including genomic scientists, computational biologists, statisticians, software engineers, product developers, data scientists and commercial strategists. We are headquartered in Oxford, with offices in Cambridge (UK) and Boston (US).

We’re on a mission to transform employee health and wellbeing. We started by tackling the underserved areas of healthcare that others overlook - like Menopause, Fertility, Pregnancy & Parenthood, Men’s Health, and Women’s Health. Our trusted, clinically-led services are delivered by specialist nurse practitioners via our app, offering personalised support when it’s needed most. From one-on-one consultations to on-demand resources, we empower people to take control of their health with expert guidance every step of the way.
But we didn’t stop there. We listened to feedback from clients who wanted more visibility and engagement with benefits - and we’re excited to say we’ve responded in a big way. In Jan 2025, we are launching the Peppy Employee Benefits Platform, an all-in-one benefits platform, powered by AI, delivering an incredible hyper-personalised employee experience. Not only does it make benefits simpler to manage, but it also delivers a hyper-personalised experience, ensuring employees receive the right support exactly when they need it.
With Peppy, you get the best of both worlds: expert, clinically-led health services through our app, alongside an AI-powered benefits platform that harmonises and simplifies benefits management.

At By Miles, we are on a mission to make driving fairer and we think it’s time that car insurance was done differently for low mileage drivers.
Offering a fairer kind of car insurance since 2018, By Miles is the UKs leading pay-by-mile car insurance provider, making car insurance more cost-effective and easier to manage for people who drive less.
By Miles was voted UKs best car insurance provider & best insurance app at the Insurance Choice Awards 2020 and 2019.
Our people are at the heart of what drives our business. So, its not only our mission to make driving fairer but to be a fairer kind of employer too.
How do we do this? We start with what we believe in, our Virtues.
These are the things that really matter to us. We call them ‘virtues’ rather than ‘values because they’re not just aspirational words, but things we already do and have committed to keep doing. We decided on these virtues as a whole company, so there’s no corporate waffle, just a basic set of shared beliefs that guide us in everything we do.
Respect.
We challenge with kindness, making sure everyone feels safe and included. We support each other.
Fairness.
We own up, we don’t blame. We’re humble enough to take feedback on board, and respectful enough to give it. The next big idea could come from anywhere, so everyone’s opinion matters.
Growth.
We take time to learn so that we can improve ourselves, our colleagues and our products. We’re not afraid to make mistakes if it gives us the opportunity to grow.
Efficiency.
We consider before we start, whether that’s interrogating details to save confusion down the line, or getting help from others.. We make decisions using data, not opinions, and we use our time wisely, always staying focused on the end goal.
Ambition.
We’re clear in our vision. We’re never afraid to challenge the status quo if it will help us make things better.
