Sancho Raises $7.0M

Nous

Nous is an intelligent household agent that saves people real money on their bills. It understands your household, tracks the market across energy, broadband, mobile, insurance and more, watches your renewals and price hikes, and steps in before you lose money — no forms, no phone calls, no chasing providers. Around 90% of UK households are overpaying, because the whole system is built to exploit how busy and distracted we all are: discounted introductory rates that hook you in, mid-contract price hikes calibrated to be the highest amount that doesn't sound outrageous, and providers holding their breath at renewal hoping you're too busy to move. Nous is building the agent to fix that, at scale. We're a certified B Corp, growing ~20x year on year. We've helped over 375,000 households get wise to rising costs and manage hundreds of millions of pounds of household spending — all while staying a small, high-context team. The way we work is unusual by design. Most companies separate the thinkers, the doers and the builders; our instinct is the opposite. We put problem-solvers close to the problems and give them the tools to build the fix themselves. It's how a team this small takes on this much. "Nous" rhymes with "house" and means practical intelligence: common sense, applied. Nous was started by an experienced founding team: Greg Marsh built onefinestay from scratch to its $200m+ acquisition by Accor, Glen Walker founded Trouva (acquired by Made.com), and Jon Rudoe helped build Ocado and scaled online groceries at Sainsbury's.

Neothera

Neothera is not about skincare. It is about skin health. No single product can solve your acne because acne is rarely caused by a single trigger. It needs to be addressed at the root. Neothera's Skin Science System is designed to solve acne inside-out. It’s a system built on clinical evidence, rigorous R&D and personalized support. Your acne deserves a system that works - not a one-size-fits-all solution. While we spend our (and nights) building serious products - we don’t take ourselves too seriously. This page is your window into the chaos, conversations and everything that goes on at the Neothera HQ.
