ohne is on a mission to make period underwear that you’ll actually want to wear. Fed up with synthetic-filled period products marketed around shame and societal stigmas, Nikki and Leah (best friends from uni) launched ohne in 2018. ohne started out by providing organic, plastic-free tampons and pads to the UK but kept envisioning more. In 2021, after 18 months of new product development, ohne launched its hero product - period underwear. The extraordinary comfort, flattering fit, the bold colours/prints, and the sense of security period underwear delivered made them an instant hit with its community and UK press - because who said period underwear should be boring? Alongside period underwear, ohne has a wellness cabinet on site, where you can shop period, sex and wellness products from other mission-led brands. As a proud B-Corp, ohne donates 1% of revenue to social causes and works hard to help combat period poverty, reduce plastic waste in menstrual care products and smash stigma in society.

kencko is a smart food company, reinventing organic fruit and vegetable products to help people eat healthier, and waste less. Our no-fuss instant smoothies make it easy to add 2.5 servings of fruits and veggies to your daily routine. The only ingredients we use are whole organic plant foods, flash-frozen and slow-dried to retain their fiber and nutrients. Nothing added, nothing taken out except water. Almost half of the world’s fresh fruits and vegetables are thrown away uneaten. Our process cuts waste by capturing the nutrients of fresh produce in a shelf-stable form, until you’re ready to enjoy them. We also lighten our footprint by using compostable packaging and offsetting all emissions from shipping. kencko’s smoothies come in a rainbow of flavors to suit your unique nutritional needs. Plus, all members can access free coaching from a registered dietitian to provide the support they need to grow their healthy habits with kencko. kencko is currently available in the US, Europe, UK, and Singapore.

Tera Ventures is an international investment firm based in Estonia. Tera helps some of Europe’s most disruptive technology companies scale and become global leaders. We back ambitious founders and their compelling visions at pre-seed and seed stage. Founded in 2016, Tera Ventures has 12 active investments in its first fund (that we previously managed under SmartCap). We are also proud of our previous exits from GrabCAD, Modesat, VitalFields, Startup Wise Guys, and others. The team at Tera Ventures consists of investors and advisors from around the world who have created exceptional value and personally made the journey from founders to acquisition or IPO of several digital tech companies. We believe in and strongly support founders and great teams and possess a very Silicon Valley-approach to helping our companies – we have worked in all weather conditions and life cycles of startups and are there to support our clients’ success. We are tenacious, ambitious and experienced in making it happen. Whatever it takes. We have a presence in Estonia and Finland, plus global contacts and experience. We leverage and create access to global markets and capital pools, as well as value creation and realization for our portfolio companies. As former global entrepreneurs ourselves, we have walked in the shoes of our clients, and we place the relationships with our founders at the heart of our business.
