"We are looking to interrupt a marketplace dominated by technologies reliant solely on sound, vision and increasingly, touch. Our sense of smell has the power to evoke long-forgotten memories, bring food to life, calm us down and enrich our lives. We create smell technologies that can be used across a range of innovative contexts. From leading healthcare research to artistic and immersive experiences, our products offer a total digital command over scent and smell."

"The closing of Siloton’s first round of investment represents a new chapter in the company’s history. We have a strong management team with world-leading technical know-how. This knowledge is complemented by the considerable expertise contained within our investor base; including clinical, sector, and commercial experts. We are all deeply excited to begin working together and building a compelling product for patients with age-related macular degeneration"

"Creativity is a critical commercial skill for organisations to foster in order to outperform in terms of growth, revenue and market share, and importantly employee wellbeing as well as productivity. There is therefore a huge amount of value to be derived by enhancing creative mental states through our innovative approach of ‘Neurodesign’ – designing ethical digital products for enhancing the human mind to thrive. It is our belief that a key component of the Future of Work will be the use of AI and neuroscience to augment the creative process and help employees achieve the “Flow” state. Not only will this improve productivity and outputs for organisations but it will also have a profound impact on employee engagement. We are delighted to have received the backing of Jenson as part of our Seed round, and are looking forward to attracting more investment to expand our vision in the Future of Work of helping professionals to develop their peak performance, augment their creative-thinking and mindset, and enhance their cognitive health towards a sustainable productive workflow."

"The referencing process can take weeks to complete and can significantly hold up the hiring process. What Konfir is doing via API should speed everything up by providing direct access to history that exists in other systems, instead of having to wait for email replies from previous employers"
