E52: Crediting Creators, Democratizing Dietitians, Turnkey Renovation, and Dollars from Scents

On this week’s dose, (2:24) we start things off with a discussion on Zurp, a startup that enables creators to interact with their fans like never before through their innovative credit card, and their recent $5M pre-seed round. (8:31) Next, we talk about Nourish’s $8M Seed round, and how the company hopes to connect more people with registered dietitians. (13:07) After that, we break down Freemodel’s $19.5M Series A, and learn about how the disruptive startup partners with realtors to design, manage, and pre-pay for their client’s home renovations - all while allowing the homeowner to reap maximum profit. (18:47) Lastly, we close out this week’s dose with a discourse on Osmo’s $60M Series A, and how the company leverages AI to model scents based solely off of molecular structure.Sources:https://www.zurp.com/https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230124005042/en/Zurp-Raises-5M-Pre-Seed-Round-to-Launch-The-Credit-Card-for-Experienceshttps://www.usenourish.com/https://techcrunch.com/2023/01/20/with-a-focus-on-patients-with-chronic-illness-nourish-hopes-to-help-americans-eat-better/?guccounter=1 https://www.freemodel.com/https://www.finsmes.com/2023/01/freemodel-raises-19-5m-in-series-a-funding.htmlhttps://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/pre-sale-home-renovation-startup-freemodel-raises-19-5m-in-series-a-funding-301735034.htmlhttps://osmo.ai/ https://www.wired.com/story/this-startup-is-using-ai-to-unearth-new-smells/ Music Credit: Chapter One by Cole Bauer and Dean Keetonhttps://www.colebauer.com/https://www.instagram.com/deankeeton/?hl=en
