The challenges of 2020 — from navigating racial tension, understanding a pending election, and coping with quarantine — can feel draining. Welnys, a startup focused on health and wellness, provides on-demand video content with tips for navigating these emotions.

Welnys was one startup featured in the most recent episode of Go for Launch. Go for Launch is Innovation Leader’s series of live startup demos. During each episode, three startups pitch their solutions in 30 minutes. Then, our guest hosts ask questions to the entrepreneurs. After the webcast concludes, participants have the opportunity to connect with founders in virtual breakout rooms to ask their questions.

Veriphix and LEAD also pitched their products. Veriphix measures the emotional triggers behind how consumers perceive a brand and service. LEAD makes it easy to launch virtual coffee or group lunches, encourage peer to peer meetups for learning opportunities, and helps build internal networks for new hires and existing employees.

This episode also features insights from Priscilla Beal, who leads technology prospecting at Bayer. Kevin Longo, Managing Director of Life Science and HealthTech at Silicon Valley Bank, co-hosts this episode. Silicon Valley Bank is also a sponsor of this series.
