• Climatic

  Participated · Seed · Feb 2026

  Climatic is building a new consumer category around proactive, everyday lung care. Grounded in more than three years of research led by Chief Science Officer Dr. Dale Christensen of Duke University Medical Center, the company’s first product is L Max, a daily lung health system slated to launch in late spring 2026. In pre-clinical studies, a single dose of L Max improved mucus clearance by over 50% within minutes, with effects lasting eight hours, and the result has been replicated in more than ten independent tests. A five-week user study with endurance athletes showed 98% reporting easier breathing and an average 6% improvement in time trials, while 80% saw better heart-rate variability; a larger randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial is underway. Co-founded by CEO Eric Kau (former Seed Health COO) and CCO Allie Melnick (former Harry’s executive), Climatic has assembled advisors from Mayo Clinic, elite athletics, and leading consumer brands. The company plans to expand its portfolio into additional products addressing environmental health stressors. Climatic’s $10 million seed financing provides the capital to accelerate research, grow the team, and prepare for product launch.

  Biologica is a San Francisco–based women’s health company offering a line of effervescent, sugar-free daily supplements formulated for distinct hormonal phases: Primary Essentials for the reproductive years, Midlife Essentials for perimenopause, and Postmenopause Essentials for life after menopause.

The formulas were developed with input from an expert medical advisory board of OB/GYNs, a breast-cancer surgeon, and naturopathic doctors, and informed by a 1,000-woman health study. Products retail for $70 per tin, with a $59 monthly subscription option sold directly through biologica.com. Co-founded by Liz Zwillinger and Allbirds co-founder Joey Zwillinger, the company emphasizes recyclable packaging featuring Greco-Roman–inspired relief artwork.

  OneText builds a text-to-buy commerce platform that lets shoppers complete purchases by SMS without replacing a merchant’s existing checkout. The product pairs AI-powered two-way conversations with human-in-the-loop support to drive features like cart recovery, post-purchase upsells, and shopper-specific recommendations. Under the hood OneText runs its own wallet that integrates with a brand’s payment processor and securely vaults customer payment information for one-reply reorders using a card-on-file model and “consentful” automation. The company positions itself against mass SMS marketing by focusing on personalized, conversion-oriented interactions and reports improving conversions by 20–30%. OneText serves mid-sized e-commerce brands doing $10M–$100M in annual revenue, supports smaller startups and large enterprises, and says it has been scaling 3x year-over-year and doing millions in revenue. Over time it plans to expand the vaulted-profile network so shoppers can reuse pre-filled checkout data and recommendations across multiple brands, building toward a cross-brand, SMS-native payment network.
