GLP-1s are the most important drug category of this century.

GLP-1s are the most important drug category of this century.

The problem

Over 50% of patients are nauseous on GLP-1 injections, and needles for life are unsustainable.

Despite GLP-1s proven benefits, many patients churn due to side effects or painful delivery.

Our platform

A convenient nasal spray delivering the same drug with similar efficacy.

Our underlying nanoparticle technology can also expand to a broader class of peptides and other biologics in the future for respiratory or neurological use cases.

Our opportunity

A massive market exceeding $100B+ in a few years.

Besides nausea, the nose-to-brain (N2B) delivery also enables new neurological indications such as addiction or dementia that are being explored for GLP-1s.

Latest in GLP-1s and health peptides.
