Founded in 2018 by veterinarian Dr. Matthew Muir and co-founder Anna Podolsky, Sydney-based Lyka Pet Food produces human-grade, fresh dog meals that are tailored to each animal’s weight, breed, age and activity level. Menu options range from grass-fed beef and lamb to free-range chicken, goat, kangaroo and turkey, combined with vegetables and superfoods such as quinoa, spinach, kale and chia seeds. Sold exclusively online on a weekly subscription basis, the service costs about A$28–50 per week for a small dog. The company claims roughly A$200 million in annual recurring revenue and has invested A$16 million in a dedicated production facility in Dandenong, Victoria, alongside additional kitchens in Sydney. Lyka markets aggressively, gaining notoriety for a viral (and Netflix-banned) ad highlighting the benefits of fresh food on dog digestion. With significant venture backing, the startup continues to scale manufacturing capacity and broaden its direct-to-consumer reach across Australia.

Samphire Neuroscience is developing Nettle, a battery-operated headband that delivers non-invasive transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) targeting the motor cortex and prefrontal cortex to reduce menstrual pain and mood symptoms. The device is designed to be worn for five days before a period and pairs with an app that includes period tracking, treatment reminders and research participation. Samphire reports a clinical trial of around 50 participants used in its CE application that showed an average 52% decrease in pain with active use and some lingering benefit the month after treatment. Nettle is not intended as a treatment for diagnosed endometriosis and common side effects reported are mild (itching/tingling or transient migraines). The company is pursuing a Class 2A CE mark, plans an initial production run of 1,000 devices, will sell direct-to-consumer and via retailer and hospital partners, and hopes for insurer reimbursement. Samphire intends to expand its product line into other female-focused therapeutics (insomnia and perimenopause) and estimates a U.S. launch in 1.5–2 years, seeking FDA breakthrough designation for U.S. trials.
