About the company

GI Healthcare builds autonomous cooking systems that prepare fresh, healthy meals where conventional kitchens and skilled staff cannot reach, from research stations and offshore facilities to the engineering foundations for future lunar and Martian habitats.

The challenge

Crossing the hardest gap in deep tech, from an exciting early prototype to the commercial evidence that unlocks paid development, while securing the patient funding and specialist engineering that hardware demands.

How NEXUS helped

NEXUS gave the founders access, not just advice, with warm introductions to customers and investors, candid commercial mentorship, and the visibility and confidence to hold conversations far larger than the company was at the time.

The outcome

GI Healthcare moved from a low-maturity prototype with no customers to a customer-backed development journey, winning its first customer-funded proof of concept, then a follow-on development programme, and is now preparing its systems for real-world pilots and TRL 7 validation.

“NEXUS did not just give us advice, it helped us get closer to the people and opportunities that could move the business forward. We joined as an early-stage hardware company with no customers, and today we are on a customer-backed development journey preparing for real-world pilots.”
