Grocery has a HUGE pollution problem - did you know that 40% of plastic waste comes from grocery shopping? That’s why we exist, were the worlds first frictionless circular supermarket. ❓ What does that mean? It means no more packaging waste from your groceries, with no extra effort. 🐟 We’re going to prevent hundreds of millions of pieces of packaging waste from entering our oceans, landfill or being incinerated. 💡 Easy to use, all in one place, and built on innovative two-way infrastructure designed for circularity. 💪 We are weekly, and we’ve had enough of rubbish groceries.

Serendipity Frozen features quality ice cream inspired by the desserts made famous at the legendary New York City restaurant, Serendipity3. This restaurant, general store, and celebrity hotspot was founded in 1954, as one of the city’s truly unique dining experiences. An enchanting place for artists and actors to gather, with notable names including Marilyn Monroe, Andy Warhol, Grace Kelly, Cary Grant, Cher, Candice Bergen, Melanie Griffith and Ron Howard. As the home of iconic food and decadent desserts, including the World Famous Frrrozen Hot Chocolate, Serendipity has been captivating millions of patrons since its inception. We’ll always look forward to sharing our passion for carefully crafted ice cream and experiences. Like Warhol predicted, we’ll all be famous for 15 minutes — feel like a star whenever you want and get a taste of the good life. Hope to see you in New York City — we’ll be serving sundaes! Until then grab a pint and let Serendipity transport you to a time and place where it feels good to indulge!

MAGIC uses computer vision, connected weights and 3D cameras to deliver personal training by the worlds best athletes at home. MAGIC is the first in the world to allow users to perform exercises in front of an intelligent hologram mirror which uses our own custom computer vision software to correct real-time form, rep count, and give live feedback to give a completely hyper-personalised workout. We have combined this with our patent-pending dumbbells and co-created workout content with the worlds leading athletes. Similar to how Masterclass.com has done for the higher arts, we enable anyone to be coached by the world’s best in sport, strength, yoga, boxing, dance etc. Users get 1:1 hyper-personalised tracking and feedback as if being personally trained + corrected by them -- but without having to pay £100s a week in typical personal training fees. We are stocked in Selfridges, were named Techround’s #1 IoT startup 2021 and were recently backed by Virgin Startup. We are venture capital backed by 2 leading multi $billion VC funds who also invested in unicorns: Grover, Scalapay and Onfido as well as the founders/angels from Spotify, Stripe, Facebook, Hopin and Tough Mudder.
