HeliosX is one of the world's fastest growing HealthTech companies. We're committed to improving the quality, accessibility, and affordability of healthcare for everyone. In 2013, our Founder Dwayne D'Souza recognised the need for prescription healthcare to catch up with other industries by taking advantage of technological innovations - to enable rapid delivery of medications and improved customer convenience. Since our founding, we've been entirely bootstrapped - we achieved product-market fit and profitability without ANY external funding whatsoever. Our mission is to help people across the world get the medications they need, faster. Through our sites and platforms, customers can conveniently access prescription medications and treatments to treat a range of health problems, as well as purchase clinical-grade, personalised skincare. We have dedicated in-house clinical teams authorised to prescribe medications, and we own a pharma business capable of manufacturing many of the medicines and skincare products we provide. We're an in-house, Direct-To-Consumer (D2C) proposition all the way down - and we're passionate about that approach. Our revenue reached a record $76 million USD last year, with unprecedented 32% year-on-year growth. With a 40% year-on-year growth target for 2024, it's an exciting time to be part of the HeliosX journey.

Founders Factory builds and funds startups together with exceptional entrepreneurs and the world's leading companies. Created by IPO-exited founders, we offer founders capital, operational support from a team of hands-on experts, and unrivalled access to a coalition of industry-leading corporate partners. Since 2015, our 300+ portfolio companies have raised $800mm follow-on funding from a roster of notable investors. Our Studio partners with entrepreneurs on day one, developing new ideas, technologies and business models into high growth companies. Together with Nesta, the UK's innovation agency for social good, we're now creating ventures that deliver social impact by means of venture-backable scale. We're looking for an experienced technical operator with entrepreneurial ambitions to take a new concept created and validated by our Venture Design team into the Build Phase. The Problem: What we eat - its price, availability and nutritional value - is a product of the farming system that creates it. Our farming system is broken. 'Conventional' farming practices, such as the intensive use of agrochemicals, are driving negative outcomes for both our health and the environment. There is a growing movement to transition towards regenerative farming practices that protects nature, improves health, fights climate change and builds national food security. 72% of UK farmers are looking to use, or being pushed by retailers, regulation and rising costs, to use some regenerative techniques. But there are major barriers to transition to regen ag: 1. Capital: Requires upfront capital (working and infrastructure) to manage the 3-5 yrs transition but traditional loans not appropriate. 2. Knowledge: Farmers need support in knowing how to transition from conventional farming to regenerative practices. Data sits at the core of regen farming, but currently exists in a siloed and analogue format. Farmers monitor soil health to understand fertility, crop rotations and to maximise yields. These data sets correlate with the data sets used for credits, financing and evidencing provenance. By digitising the data we can reduce the admin burden for farmers and unlock new revenue streams by selling nature credits to organisations looking to offset their environmental impact. Ultimately making farming more profitable in the long run whilst having a positive impact on health and the environment. The Solution: RE:GENO - the data management tool that finances the transition to regen Re:geno is an app that organises your farming data and financially rewards you for regenerative farming practices.
