Brainforest Announcement: Nature Perspectives joins the portfolio & Annual Report 2025 is live
Two big updates in one email. We are welcoming a new portfolio company, and sharing our freshly published Annual Report.
Dear Brainforest Follower,
Finally, we can stop teasing it! The big Cohort 6 question has been answered. Want to find out who received investment in the 6th winter cohort?
🥁 (drumroll…)
… We are excited to welcome Nature Perspectives as the newest addition to the Brainforest portfolio!
After ten intensive weeks of hands-on work, expert sessions, and more Miro boards than we want to admit, our Winter Venture Program Cohort 6 wrapped with Pitch Day in Zürich on 4 December. Eight teams took the stage, and following the event, our Investment Committee decided to invest in Nature Perspectives, now the newest addition to our portfolio.
We sat down with co-founders Gal Zanir and Abhik Palit to hear how it all started with “Monty the Monstera”, a late-night experiment that turned into a generative AI approach to helping people connect with the living world through deep conversation.
