Neat offers a ground breaking solution to the single use plastic crisis. We were frustrated at the lack of solutions to single use plastic in household waste. So we created Neat. Beautiful cleaning products that perform brilliantly, with no single use plastic and no need to unnecessarily ship water around the world. A refillable, stylish bottle designed to compliment your home. We want to empower people to make a simple, positive change. Offering beautiful products that are a step-change towards a more sustainable world. The homecare industry generates more than 29 billion plastic containers each year and by 2050 there could be more plastic in the ocean than fish. Neat’s system takes single use plastic out of the mix and reduces CO2 emissions. Our formulas are vegan and cruelty free, using biodegradable and plant based ingredients. We don’t want to preach or guilt trip, but rather bring solutions that inspire. As individuals we might not always feel we can impact the bigger picture, but we can decide how we clean our homes. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best. Neat’s refillable system eliminates single use plastic. But it’s not just single use plastic we’re targeting: A typical bottle of cleaner is 90% water and less than 10% actual valuable ingredients. But we have access to water in our homes. That’s a lot of water being shipped around the world! Our concentrated refill removes the unnecessary water, and is packaged in materials that are widely recycled and will not end up in landfill or the ocean. Just add tap water at home for instant and convenient cleaning products. Cleaning served neat! Our re-useable bottles are designed to work with the interior décor of a stylish home, not to be stashed under the sink. The lines are simple, clean and subtle. The silicon base allows for durability and a gentle landing on surfaces. Our bottle contains no single use plastic, is made from lightweight aluminium and with proper use, designed to last a lifetime.

Our mission is twofold: to work with sports organisations to build a sustainable, profitable and engaged fanbase while also helping fans feel recognised and valued by their clubs.

Our Mission is to be the definitive community-powered brand that builds decorating confidence by inspiring and supporting all decorators with their projects. Lick is a community-powered decorating movement. We are a force for change in the home decor space with a vision to transform the industry for our decorators and for the planet. Lick was founded in 2019 by Lucas London and Sam Bradley - both experienced startup entrepreneurs. The business has raised over $29m since inception. OMERS Ventures lead our Series A round in June 2021 with participation from existing investors Felix Capital and contributions from entrepreneurs and PE investors including Magnus Rausing, Alex Chesterman and Kathaka, the family office of Caroline Rupert of Richemont. We’re a business that believes in building confidence in our decorators. Seeing their bright ideas and making them happen. We do this by giving our do-er uppers access to inspiration, advice and how-to guidance from our experts and wider community. As well as making our range of (water-based, low VOC) paint, (FSC-certified) wallpaper, blinds and supplies with real people and real homes in mind. Its why we curate the colours in our product ranges, its why we have an expert team of colour consultants on-hand to help with any decorating question, big or small, its why were building a supportive community of decorators to inspire each other with their projects, and it’s why we are rethinking how technology can transform this category. Were on a mission to transform the $1trillon global home decor category, and our sights are set on scale, this means expanding our product offering, launching new sustainability initiatives, and growing our already thriving community of home decorators across the globe. Decorator success starts at home...our home. That is why our ambition is to be a definitive people-powered company. Building an environment where individuals thrive and collectively achieve significant results.

THIS is what happens when two meat-lovers checked out meat-free food, and decided that we didn’t want any of it. We had a job before we co-founded THIS, in 2019. We established and ran a burger (as in, beef) restaurant chain. As far as u-turns go, this is a whopper. When we left that business we realised some stuff: That maybe we should eat less meat. Fairly urgently. That if you don’t like tofu, or food with orange packaging, you don’t have much of a meat-free choice. That we should make plant-based food and deploy our secret-weapon, following it as our guiding star: our obsession and adoration for meat. The obvious(ish…) conclusion, was that we had to make our own plant-based meat-alternative products. Food that PROPERLY works in a fry-up or in a chicken-pie. And so, we made THIS. It’s ridiculously high in protein, it tastes sensational and it’s produced by people who won’t guilt-trip you if you also eat meat. Enjoy
