February 2025 pitch night company: Reterniti

 

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.
