Novai is a UK biotechnology company, developing and commercialising transformational technology in ophthalmology. The company's initial focus is on ophthalmic disorders such as glaucoma and AMD (Age-related Macular Degeneration). Novai argues that current clinical endpoints lack early disease biomarkers to objectively detect and measure cell health and response to treatment in the retina. Novai asserts that its proprietary biological marker, DARC (Detection of Apoptosis in Retinal Cells), combined with its bespoke and patented Artificial Intelligence (AI) aided algorithm, allows, for the first time in vivo, identification of cellular-level disease activity in the retina. Novai stresses that DARC can also predict disease progression, allowing for enrichment of clinical trial cohorts. The company anticipates an exit via licensing of its biomarker business to a Contract Research Organisation (CRO), an Initial Public Offering (IPO) following a successful phase 3 trial of the diagnostic platform, or trade sale to a strategic pharmaceutical company.

Refract was born from our own experiences. We knew sales coaching was broken - and that we could start help to fix it, or at least provide the tools to help companies ensure effective coaching and peer collaboration. As managers, coaches and reps, we understand the value of coaching, collaboration and sharing best practice. But being honest, it’s never easy. Finding the time to ride along, lacking a shared reflection and delivering praise or ideas, let alone corrective feedback isn’t a simple skill to master.
