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.

Lenderwize provides working capital to telecom wholesalers. It asserts that large telecom operators pay on sixty days whilst suppliers are paid on seven days; hence the middleman suffers an average -53 day Cash Flow Gap (CGP). Lenderwize also argues that banks do not understand the telecom industry because a phone call is not a tangible asset such as real estate; hence they provide little help. Lenderwize solves this problem. It has developed a financial technology platform that certifies 'Proof of Service' that includes real phone calls, real invoices and the quality of delivered services. Its typical clients are mid-sized operators having annual revenue of 50-300 million USD. Lenderwize sells to large Tier 1 Operators (Originators) and buys from smaller (Terminating) Operators. It has identified 1350 wholesalers in need of $96 million. Lenderwize intends to exit within four years and sell its business to potential buyers such as large telecom operators, alternative finance funders, and banks seeking innovation.
