I have been working with NLC for a couple of years. From the first moment, NLC saw opportunities where I didn’t. Without the expertise and commitment of NLC, Nicolab simply wouldn’t exist and we wouldn’t be able to help stroke patients this day.

After my journey as founder of Novamedia/Postcode Lotteries, I founded Phase2.earth, which invested in NLC in 2021. I've since witnessed the remarkable growth and recommend anyone who seeks to combine a significant positive impact with a sound investment to come on board.
