Wewell is a technology startup whose mobile application scans and evaluates the composition of cosmetics, using a database of ingredients and dermatologist‑designed questionnaires to create personalized skin profiles. The app can recognize more than 550,000 cosmetic products and detect around 27,000 ingredients. It has roughly 250,000 registered users who use the platform to avoid unsuitable products and find items that match their skin. Users complete a profile at registration and an algorithm evaluates product suitability based on scientifically grounded ingredient information. Wewell aims to reduce the negative impact of inappropriate cosmetics on both consumers and the environment. The company plans to expand to additional markets and to launch an integrated marketplace to connect users directly with cosmetics e‑shops.

CulturePulse offers social media analytics that create psychologically accurate digital twins of target audiences and measure messages against beliefs, values and 80+ cultural categories (anger, anxiety, personality, morality, inclusivity, racism, hate speech, etc.). Its technology models belief systems driving human behavior rather than relying solely on sentiment and engagement analysis, and produces a predictive "resonance score" alongside traditional metrics. The platform works across 100+ languages and is claimed to cover 99% of digital texts without the need for historical data and training. Prior to commercial launch the AI was used in research projects such as the Forgiveness project with the Woolf Institute, distilling over 50 million GDelt articles into 80 cultural and psychological aspects. The company plans to move its AI software to a SaaS platform, expand the team to bolster sales efforts, and enter new markets.
