Neela Biotech

Neela Biotech is building a scalable pathway to sustainable fuels and chemicals at fossil cost parity, enabling a more circular, resilient, and energy-secure future. 🧪 Our proprietary Controlled Microbial Upcycling leverages advances in AI and synthetic biology to convert waste into renewable feedstocks for fuels and chemicals. By working within existing biogas infrastructure, our approach is designed to scale more easily and at lower costs than many alternative pathways. ✈️ Our beachhead market is Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) where our platform chemical feeds into HEFA-SAF, opening up a practical route to scale one of the most commercially mature SAF pathways. 🚀 We are part of the IAG innovation program, have secured grants from Innovate UK and the Henry Royce Institute, and are backed by Founders at the University of Cambridge’s Start 3.0, Undaunted’s Greenhouse and Fifty Years’ 5050.

Innercrowd

Innercrowd is the fan platform for live events. The strongest events are built on the people who come back and bring others with them. We help festivals, clubs, and venues know who their fans are, reach them directly, and grow their audience from one event to the next. Ambassador marketing Turn your biggest fans into the people who bring the rest of the crowd, with personal share links, quests, and rewards. Every ticket they sell is tracked in your dashboard. Run it yourself, or let our team manage it for you. Pre-sale campaigns Build your audience before tickets go on sale. Then turn registrations into purchases with email and the Innercrowd WhatsApp Shop, where fans buy their tickets right in the chat. Our team helps you manage the campaign, even outside the Innercrowd system. Engagement platform One fan database built on your Ticket Service Provider with automatic database updates. And to keep every fan close from one event to the next, our engagement platform brings email, WhatsApp, and an AI agent that answers questions day and night together in one place. Innercrowd works with ticketing providers like Weeztix, Paylogic, Shotgun, and Vivenu, and is trusted by organisers such as Verknipt, No Art, Loveland, Hangar, Rave Rebels, REBiRTH, WECANDANCE, Soenda, Colorado Charlie, JOY, and many more.
