Balderton Capital Growth I

The challenge

Ascension III is a pre-seed/seed stage venture fund aiming to reduce social inequality by investing in tech businesses that tackle the cost-of-living crisis through three key themes: increase income opportunities; decrease costs of essential goods and improve access to healthcare.

One example of their recent investments is Juniver, a neuroscience-based programme created by eating disorder clinical experts and a team with experience recovering from eating disorders. Juniver is aiming to transform the eating disorder market through a first-of-its-kind digital solution with an AI-powered assistant for on demand help through urges, personalised insights from health data, peer support and telemedicine care.
