Reimagining medicine At Perfood, we translate state-of-the-art data and medical science into therapy. We create software, that precisely identifies what actions need to be take on a personalized level, to prevent or fight diseases. Using sensors, lab results and holistic analyses, we derive therapeutic angles and deliver them in a slick, easy-to-use way, making them accessible for all patients. We call this approach digital therapeutics. A digital solution that is just as effective as a drug. But without side effects. We believe that our genetic heritage is an elementary compound of our health. But we also believe that much more than our predisposition, our everyday actions determine whether we stay healthy or get sick. Among all triggers – activity, breezing or sleeping – we believe that nutrition is the leading factor. Our digital therapeutics are all rooted in our proprietary technology for personalized nutrition. Vast kinds of food deliver various nutrients that are processed directly by the human body, but also by microbes that live in a symbiotic relationship with us. Understanding these complex processes is our passion. Translating these processes into effective therapy is our mission. In 2017, we pioneered research on personalized nutrition at the leading German life science University of Lübeck. In 2018 we launched the first scientific personalized nutrition program for wellness and weight management. In 2020, we invented a completely novel way of treating migraine with sinCephalea, a digital therapy powered by personalized stable-glycemic nutrition. On our journey, we have built an exceptional pipeline of digital therapeutics with our proprietary technology at its foundation. With a powerful deep phenotyping dataset, we unveil the interception of disease and develop the most effective healthcare solutions, combining diagnostics and precision treatments. We welcome you to join us on this ride.

MySecretCase è la community più attiva in Italia per la liberazione sessuale, fondata su valori di educazione, inclusività e informazione accessibile a tutt* e il primo shop online italiano dedicato al piacere. Nel 2014 anno di fondazione, MySecretCase ha proposto un posizionamento nuovo dei sex toys, con un reale impatto sociale sull'educazione dei giovanissimi e non solo, portata avanti tutti i giorni sui canali social per scardinare tabù radicati nella nostra cultura. “Vogliamo un mondo in cui le donne non sono oggetti sessuali ma possono averli tutti”, con questa mission l’azienda ha creato un nuovo standard nel settore di riferimento, registrando una crescita significativa e l’interesse di investitori sia italiani sia internazionali. Nel 2017 si è posizionata come first mover realizzando il primo spot di sempre sui sex toys in Italia, lanciato su Mediaset, Discovery, Sky e nel 2019 quello dedicato alle coppie, in onda per la prima volta in day time. Nel 2021 l’azienda ha pubblicato “ScoprireScopare”- un manuale edito da Sonzogno Feltrinelli presentato al Salone del libro di Torino - in cui ad essere protagonista è la community. Si è, inoltre, classificata - accanto ad Amazon, Coca-Cola, Google, Netflix, Spotify - tra le 20 aziende più inclusive secondo il Diversity Brand Index. Tra i progetti premiati c’è “Disabile DesiderAbile, la campagna oltre i tabù con cui, MySecretCase ha voluto raccontare desideri, testimonianze e storie di persone con disabilità e caregiver. A novembre 2021, ha lanciato l'Orgasmeria, la sexy waffle bakery online e itinerante pensata per celebrare uno dei 5 sensi da sempre protagonista della sessualità più intensa e giocosa: il gusto. Nel 2022 sceglie AccessiWay per rendere il proprio sito web ancora più accessibile alle persone con disabilità, affinché il diritto alla sessualità diventi realmente inclusivo e universale e diventa sponsor del Milano Pride. website: https://www.mysecretcase.com/ social: @mysecretcase
