Smart tech for smart bodies™ We’re on a mission to take women’s tech out of the dark ages, by developing radical female-first technology that gives women’s bodies and lives the respect they deserve. As our founder Tania Boler says: "We need tech that finally puts women’s needs first. Afterall, why should we have to make do with shoddy design or pink spin-offs when there are self-driving cars in the world?” Our first two products Elvie Trainer and Elvie Pump have racked up more than 50 awards for innovation and design, including the prestigious CES Innovation Award, IDA Design Award and Red Dot Award. Although our core mission is to empower women, we believe that anybody who can use our products should feel empowered to use them, whether they identify as women or not. With headquarters in London and a state-of-the-art innovation hub in Bristol, we are a global business bringing cutting edge tech to the Americas, Europe and Asia. Wanna join a mission-led company determined to make a difference? Check out our current roles on the Jobs tab.

A shift is taking place in how we think about improving people’s mental health. To meet society’s needs for support, we need to: • address a greater range of mental health concerns • provide population-wide access to immediate support systems, and • complement clinical treatment with scalable measures, from early intervention, to self-care systems to tools that augment treatment. Many people are motivated to help each other, offer support, and connect as a community. Thats why peer support is so powerful. It’s about human empathy – people helping people. Since 2007, Togetherall has championed the role of digitally delivered, clinically managed peer support. Togetherall is available to over 20 million people across the UK, Canada, USA, and New Zealand. We’re commissioned in the NHS, government departments, public health, higher and further education institutions.

Velocys is an international sustainable fuels technology company. Velocys designed, developed and now licenses proprietary Fischer-Tropsch technology to enable the production of clean, low carbon, synthetic drop-in aviation and road transport fuel from a wide variety of carbon sources including residual woody biomass, municipal solid waste and CO2 (e-fuels). Velocys is developing two reference projects: one in Natchez, Mississippi, USA and one in Immingham, UK, to produce fuels with net negative carbon emissions, thanks to integration with carbon sequestration. Velocys as it is today arose from two complementary innovations. One was in catalysis, a spin-out from Oxford University (originally called Oxford Catalysts), which in 2008 acquired a US company based on complementary reactor technology developed at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Velocys is headquartered in Oxford in the United Kingdom. Velocys is owned by a consortium of impact investors with a focus on climate change. Members include Carbon Direct Capital, Lightrock, GenZero and Kibo Investments. www.velocys.com
