FOCUS ON THE PREVIOUS START-UP SLAMS WINNERS:

It’s a really great opportunity because we just changed our name a few weeks ago. We used to be called Yeasty and we’re now Onima. So it’s great visibility for us and it was a crash test for the new brand, so that’s went really well. We’ll also be gaining support from Rockstart and that is a great programme that will be looking forward. And we’ll also be coming next year to NutrEvent as part of the price.
I had the opportunity to attend and pitch at the Start-up Slams, one of the best ways to display disruptive enterprises and engage with projects like mine. It was a wonderful surprise to win the NutrEvent prize! The jury was fully aware of the need for a new generation of healthy low sugar food products.
