One Year No Beer (OYNB) is a community support platform that helps people change their relationship with alcohol. It argues that despite drinking being a part and parcel of most work, social and family gatherings, excess drinking leads to 3 million deaths per year, causes 5.1% of all diseases and costs £52 billion to the UK economy alone. OYNB intends to change this by helping customers choose a plan from its subscription-based models that consist of a 28-day, 90-day and 365-day challenge to stay away from alcohol. The platform has empowered 80,000+ people in 90 countries through its challenges, earned revenue worth £2.2 million in 2020, and witnessed an 85% growth in Alcohol-Free Challenge (AFC) sales between February - June 2021. OYNB has featured in the BBC, ITV, and Men’s Health, to name a few. It also has an online presence of 230,000+ social media followers. The company states it will use the investment to consolidate its growth and improve its technology to become a stronger brand and reach millions globally.

Rightangled is a healthcare technology company backed by NHS England & regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
