💬 Agni

Founded: 2019

Geography: US

When Western medicines don’t work, people turn to alternative practices that could potentially offer relief and results. They eliminate unnecessary chemicals by investing in plant-based food, sustainable products and homeopathic methods, from vegan nail polish to food. In 2020, the global homeopathic products market size was $785.3 million. It’s expected to reach over $1.3 billion by the end of 2027.

Agni is a fast-growing leader in the Food as Medicine space. Agni offers snacks and teas designed with a Medical Advisory Board (including experts in Western, Functional and Integrative Medicine, Herbalism, Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Nutrition) to support Women’s Health needs, including fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, periods, and menopause.

The growing demand for functional foods and female-focused health solutions is reflected in their 100% growth YoY and 10K+ customers.

💬 Lazy

Founded: 2022

Geography: US

Context switching is poison for productivity.

Lazy is built on the belief that the process of capturing information is broken. When you get that brilliant idea or see something inspiring online, you should be able to take notes without switching app or tabs.

Lazy is one keyboard shortcut to take in-context notes — clip anything from anywhere: articles to Twitter threads, newsletters & more, capture key points in videos and transcribe what you’ve just heard, connect what you collect, organize later.
