Nichol Bradford’s Post

Niremia Collective is proud to announce the successful closure of our inaugural fund, Niremia Collective Fund I, with a total of $22.5 million in commitments. This fund marks a significant milestone in our mission to revolutionize the mental health and wellbeing sectors through technological innovation. Founded by myself and my esteemed co-founder, Nichol Bradford, Niremia Collective was born from a shared vision to harness the power of technology to enhance human wellbeing. In the face of global challenges such as mental health crises and aging populations, we are committed to driving significant improvements and transformations through our strategic investments. The global wellbeing market is estimated to grow into a $8.5 trillion industry by 2027. We are honored to have the support of forward-thinking corporate and institutional investors from both Japan and the United States. To date, Niremia Fund I has made strategic investments in 12 leading startups, each playing a pivotal role in shaping the future of wellness and wellbeing. I'm filled with immense pride and heartfelt gratitude as Niremia Collective has been featured in TechCrunch. This recognition marks a significant milestone in our journey towards innovation in the wellness space. https://lnkd.in/gTf2rPfK #niremiacollective #wellness #wellbeing #venturecapital #mentalhealth #humanpotential #femalefounder #vc #startup #techcrunch

A rather useful list by the brilliant Keren Etkin. What the list cannot show is the current approach of some of those investors and facilitators. There is still a lot to be done to show them where the dots connect in the background beyond the obvious, where service or product X serves purpose Y. ROI and business models are still seen in a rather traditional way. But #longevity is a very different investment landscape. It is not an economy, it is the intersection of all the existing ones that, properly blended and equalised, will generate ROI on multiple levels, leading to a greater outcomes that we have called #ROS (return on society) for companies and countries. All this will lead to a redefinition of #agetech to a much wider domain that is (and will increasingly be) dominated by an invisible #AI. It is coming to reshuffle and reshape this space faster than anyone else. Why? Because this space is not just one, it is all the others mixed together. The step from LLMs to LBMs (B=biological) to cite an example, is already happening to some extent. Much faster than we had imagined few years ago. And it does not necessarily have to do with 'age'. Rather, it has to do with the wonderful complexity of life and the opportunities this brings.
