Launch in Palo Alto

Newfund Heka and Nexus NeuroTech launched the BrainTech Alliance, a selective community bringing together investors, founders, researchers and institutions working at the frontier of brain health. The event marked the first gathering of the Alliance's Founding Members, with discussions featuring Brian Pepin, CEO of Rune Labs, and Joonas Juvonen, Co-Founder of Soihtu DTx. Together, they shared perspectives on the technologies, scientific advances and market dynamics shaping the future of BrainTech. The conference was followed by a networking session connecting specialized VC funds, entrepreneurs, startups and academic researchers — with one shared ambition: accelerate collaboration across the BrainTech and HealthTech ecosystem.
