As we kick off 2025, we are looking back on the transformative experience Nadu had with the UQ Ventures Momentum program last year. What a ride it's been!
The Power of Momentum
When we were selected as one of the few from over 70 applicants, we knew we were in for something special. But nothing could have prepared us for the whirlwind of growth, learning, and connections that awaited us.
A 15-Week Sprint to Success
The program wasn't just about sitting in lectures - it was a hands-on, immersive experience that pushed us to refine our strategy, expand our network, and truly understand what it means to scale a business in the health tech space.
Key Takeaways
1. Expert Guidance: The mentorship we received was invaluable. Shoutout to Yazz Krishna whose passion and dedication went above and beyond, attending our meetings and demos, and making connections that have been game-changers for Nadu.
2. Inspiring Leadership: Annika Launay our Entrepreneur-in-Residence, provided the kind of guidance that only comes from someone who's been in the trenches. Her insights were gold!
3. Flawless Execution: Hats off to Stevie and Hannah Sharaf for running a tight ship. Their coordination made sure we could focus on what mattered most - growing our business.
4. Power of Community: Being part of a cohort of brilliant female founders was incredibly empowering. The support, camaraderie, and shared experiences have forged friendships that will last a lifetime.
Nadu's Evolution
Through this program, we've sharpened our focus on revolutionising nasal and respiratory mucosa health management. Our holistic approach, combining over-the-counter pharmaceuticals, medical delivery devices, and a subscription service, is now more refined and ready to make a real impact.
Looking Ahead
As we move forward in 2025, we're carrying with us not just the knowledge and skills we've gained, but a renewed energy and clarity of purpose. We're more committed than ever to addressing the critical challenges in managing conditions like asthma, sinusitis, and hay fever.
A Heartfelt Thank You
On behalf of Alexandra French and Nadu we would like to thanks UQ Ventures and QIC in particular Matiela Baker - our sponsors, our mentors, and fellow founders - your belief in us and your support have been instrumental in our journey. You've not just helped shape Nadu; you've contributed to shaping the future of respiratory health management.
Join Our Journey
As we continue to grow and innovate, we'd love to hear from you. Have you or someone you know struggled with respiratory health issues? How do you think technology can play a role in better health management?
Let's keep the conversation going. Together, we can breathe easier into the future!
