April Catalist companies: Calmly and Prospero Energy

February 2025 pitch night companies: Reterniti, Pyper Vision and oVRCome

Reterniti is a disruptor within the ENORMOUS deathcare (deathtech) industry.

We have identified the nearly complete absence of modern post-cremation options in the pet and people space (aside from small cottage industry items) and a growing opportunity for digital memorialisation.

The DeathTech industry globally is very large. It is also very slow moving, lacking innovation and struggles to adapt to consumer preferences; it is classically ready for (& receptive to) disruption. Additionally revenue tends to be emotionally driven & therefore less price sensitive. Reterniti established upon these insights & we have been validated in both target categories – pets & people.

Reterniti is now established and operational across NZ & (within last year) Australia.

The core opportunity is for one globally recognised brand that covers digital & physical memorialisation in this space.

They are raising funds to expand into the US with a major distributor.

Pyper Vision Limited is an innovative technology company dedicated to solving fog-related operational disruptions using AI-driven fog forecasting and dispersal solutions. Globally, low visibility in fog costs trillions of dollars in lost operational and economic value to many industries including aviation, mining, canals, and ports. Pyper Vision was founded in 2018 with a mission to eliminate fog, providing the visibility to enable operations around the clock. To date our company has focussed on developing a method to disperse fog, providing the visibility our customers require. Through recent customer discovery we found that there is still a large portion of cost associated by incorrect fog forecasts, which many operations have to act on, closing their operations regardless of whether it forms.

With a refocus to potential revenue streams that can help to fund our long-term mission, Pyper Vision has developed an AI-driven fog forecasting model capable of delivering accurate real-time, hyperlocal visibility forecasts, which provide operationally-relevant insights to inform decision-making across key sectors like aviation.

Relugroup Update:  22 March

After slowing down due diligence during the holidays, the Relugroup pre-seed deal is about move to closing.  As a reminder, Relugroup built a SaaS product that brings AI powered Dynamic Pricing to small and mid-sized airlines to drive incremental revenue and cost savings.  There are some pretty significant confidential updates since the last one in December that we'd like to share.

• Relugroup has executed a contract with their launch customer, Air Greenland.  The first airline is always the most difficult to land and this deal provides additional confirmation of Relugroup's pricing model.

• The pre-money valuation has been reduced to $6 million NZD.  

• Flying Kiwi Angels (FKA) is the lead investor, with MAI playing a co-lead role.  NZ Growth Capital Partners (NZGCP) and Icehouse have committed to this round with the additional commitments coming in now.

• Relugroup's founder, Leila Benab, has AI, machine learning, dynamic pricing and aviation pricing expertise and has proven to be a quick learner in sales and closing deals.  She is supported by MAI member, Eric Lemond https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericlemond/, as Relugroup's Investor Director.  He has experience closing deals and completing technology projects with airlines.  

Relugroup is an investment in a promising founder who has started generating market traction.  Relugroup's immediate focus will be on driving incremental revenue and cost savings for Air Greenland and leveraging that validation into a stable of additional airlines.

DD report is here, led by FKA and co-led by Mainland Angels. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HcpQAxUWtz2DsH8WujF9vYCGHcMF-ZpT/view
