- Magnomics — Overview: Magnomics is a diagnostics, medical technology company committed to delivering a new generation of rapid, portable molecular diagnostic tests with applications in the human health, veterinary, and food industry markets. Affordable, disposable diagnostic cartridges will be produced in large scale and shipped via global distributors. Theteam behind the company has world class experience in biotechnology, electronics and physics, with a proven track record in managing start-ups. Magnomics has a Letter of Intent from a leading dairy company and won the 2015 Kansas City Animal Health Investment Forum innovation award, as well as the Ag Biotech Entrepreneurial Showcase award in North Carolina in 2016. €1.6M in seed financing have been raised through grants and investments. Magnomics is seeking €1.5M to conclude the prototyping of its first product in the animal health space. Technology: Magnomics technology stands on four patent families, with more in the pipeline, and has been published over twenty times in prestigious scientific journals. Magnomics provides a portable and affordable PCR device that requires no training to operate. The product integrates sample preparation, amplification and DNA detection within a single cartridge using microfluidics, making use of a novel magnetoresistive DNA sensing technology. Market: The veterinary diagnostics market is hungry for innovation and has low regulatory barriers. This market is estimated at €4 billion, with an 8.6% expected growth for the period 2016 to 2021. Magnomics will focus on the detection of bovine mastitis - an inflammation of the dairy cow’s mammary gland, whose treatment depends on the bacteria involved. This ailment causes over €30 billion in annual losses for producers worldwide. In the initial target markets (North America, Europe and Brazil), there are 56 million dairy cows with an average mastitis base incidence 30%. Given a €25 price tag and some segmentation, this amounts to a serviceable market of close to €300M, in which a penetration of 10-15% is expectable. The product can be sold either directly to farmers or to veterinarians: strategic partnerships are being negotiated with large pharma/dairy players to ensure market access.Competition: Companies such as AAD, DeLaval, and PortaCheck already have on-site solutions, which include California Mastitis Tests (CMT), Somatic Cell Counters and variants (SCC), as well as lateral flow strips. These current on-site diagnostics tools indicate the presence of an infection but are unable to determine the pathogen, which is key to define an appropriate treatment. Culture testing (e.g. Idexx, Virbac) is the current benchmark and is being tried on site as well: although cheap, the added value is greatly diminished due to long waiting times and difficulties in setting up a working protocol. Finally, laboratories provide fast molecular solutions (e.g. ThermoFisher) that are fast but expensive, while requiring complicated logistics due to sample collection that increase lead times. Magnomics will bring these molecular solutions to the farm in a convenient and affordable product.

- RVE.SOL - Solucoes de Energia Rural — Rural populations forced reliance on biomass and kerosene for their energy needs is causing over 1.6M# deaths per annum. Their lack of access to clean water causes over 5M people to die; 2M of them are children under the age of 5.RVE.SOL's _Changing Rural Life Forever_ initiative is creating alternative, renewable energy choices for therural poor, allowing them to take advantage of natural resources like sunlight, cattle manure and raw water to manage their own way to a better future.Our _KUDURA_ rural village energy hub is community managed; provides communities with potable water, solar electricity, biogas for cooking and organic fertiliser for agriculture.A holistic approach, the solution seeks to target the four areas of rural life that prevalently cause poverty to propagate:1. Access to clean water to obviate transmission of water borne disease2. Access to renewable electricity to obviate the dependance on kerosene for light and improve children's opportunity to study at night3. Access to Biogas to obviate mass destruction of primary forest in a bid to be able to cook food4. Access to fertiliser to reinvigorate over-used soils and so increase quality and quantity of crop harvest for subsistence farmers.Ultimately, this approach seeks to create wealth for rural farmers by offering a choie of more cost effective and efficient services utilising naturally available resources.

Betwixt Ventures focuses on bringing together startups with Venture Capital Investors.By raising a pledge fund exclusively targeting investments on early stage startups with high potential, Betwixt Ventures proposes to add value through the following main activities:• Origination, screening, negotiation of deal terms, and monitoring of vettedstartups• Startup follow up, mentoring, consulting and value creation• Attraction of venture capital funds and placement of further investment rounds• Attraction of exit opportunities and facilitation of exit processStarting its capital raise in October 2015, the pledge fund will exclusively target investments on early stage startups typically based out of Portugal. At a second stage, it intends to invest also in Spanish and Italian startups. While no particular industry will be ruled out from the investment scope, the pledge fund will tend to focus on the broad technology and energy sectors. As a pre-requisite, it will either invest in startups previously vetted by other Business Angels, or co-invest in them with other seed or venture capital funds as partners. The focus of the pledge fund will be to invest in the gap between seed and series A rounds. Upon the investment at this stage, Betwixt Ventures will seek to attract further institutional investment rounds, internationally.On top of the pledge fund management, Betwixt Ventures will also offer both financial and general advisory services to startups. The former include either the attraction of venture capital funds for placement of further investment rounds, or the attraction of strategic buyers for potential M&A transactions, mainly in the US market.

- RVE.SOL - Solucoes de Energia Rural — Rural populations forced reliance on biomass and kerosene for their energy needs is causing over 1.6M# deaths per annum. Their lack of access to clean water causes over 5M people to die; 2M of them are children under the age of 5.RVE.SOL's _Changing Rural Life Forever_ initiative is creating alternative, renewable energy choices for therural poor, allowing them to take advantage of natural resources like sunlight, cattle manure and raw water to manage their own way to a better future.Our _KUDURA_ rural village energy hub is community managed; provides communities with potable water, solar electricity, biogas for cooking and organic fertiliser for agriculture.A holistic approach, the solution seeks to target the four areas of rural life that prevalently cause poverty to propagate:1. Access to clean water to obviate transmission of water borne disease2. Access to renewable electricity to obviate the dependance on kerosene for light and improve children's opportunity to study at night3. Access to Biogas to obviate mass destruction of primary forest in a bid to be able to cook food4. Access to fertiliser to reinvigorate over-used soils and so increase quality and quantity of crop harvest for subsistence farmers.Ultimately, this approach seeks to create wealth for rural farmers by offering a choie of more cost effective and efficient services utilising naturally available resources.
