Featuring Nutromics, WowYow and Algenesis
Nutromics is an Australian-born diagnostics company developing a continuous diagnostic monitoring platform that is leveraged using DNA-based sensors. With a vision to create a world with zero preventable deaths, Nutromics is on a mission to revolutionize healthcare by providing clinicians with continuous, real-time diagnostic insights through a lab-on-a-patch.
Founded in 2017, the company has raised US $27M to date, including investment from Dexcom Ventures, and is currently undertaking its first-in-human clinical studies.
Nutromics plans to open its Series A round later in 2023.
When they met, Nutromics co-founders Peter Vranes and Hitesh Mehta had both experienced the limitations of a reactive healthcare system. Tired of the status quo, they decided that something had to change, so they took on the herculean task of revolutionizing healthcare.
Everyone at Nutromics is connected through the same purpose: saving lives.

WowYow at Connect's 2023 Summer Social
WowYow’s CEO and founder, Adam Boskovich, was inspired by a straightforward yet profound question – why couldn’t he interact with or shop what was inside a video? Being a software engineer by trade, Adam realized that answering this question required a scalable solution. He leveraged Computer Vision, AI, and Metadata indexing to develop a shoppable and interactive video solution, which he showcased as the minimum viable product.
Since 2016, the company has addressed the content monetization needs of digital media companies by delivering billions of contextually relevant ads.
