We\u2019re thrilled to announce that\u00a0Samphire Neuroscience<\/a>, a graduate of our HAX hard tech startup development program, has secured $5 million Seed round led by Inventure VC with participation from Fortify Ventures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this year, the company launched Nettle<\/em>\u2014a CE-certified, non-hormonal neurotechnology device designed to relieve mental and physical symptoms tied to menstruation. Using gentle transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), Nettle targets brain regions linked to mood and pain. Worn like a headband for 20 minutes a day in the days leading up to a period, the device offers a side effect\u2013free alternative to traditional treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since its European debut, Nettle has sold out twice and seen especially strong demand from people with PMDD. Clinical data shows symptom relief\u2014including reduced pain, mood swings, and brain fog\u2014in just one month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 2021, Samphire\u2019s team includes CEO Emil\u0117 Radyt\u0117<\/a> (PhD in Neurosciences and Neurobiology) and COO Alex Cook<\/a>, Samphire is tackling a massive unmet need, aiming to support the 190 million people globally living with chronic menstrual conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find Nettle now available via their website and select clinics.
