    I've had to keep my mouth shut until now, and those who know me know HOW HARD THAT'S BEEN. SO much has happened over the past six months—I don’t even know where to start, but here goes. ?? With our brand locked down thanks to the legendary Sophie Tyrrell, I’m stoked to finally introduce Elita Genetics, Australia’s first stem cell bank for pets. Two and a half years ago, Jackson and I got a puppy, Edgar Allan Paws, who quickly became the light of our lives. When we discovered Edgar was predisposed to arthritis, I became obsessed with research. How could I fix this? That's when we learned about stem cell therapy, it’s lack of access in Australia, and the market potential. I obsessed over the idea quietly, fearing, "Surely, I can't be the one to do this." But then, with Jackson gaining technical insights into our problem, he said, "You’ve always wanted to start something; you have the idea and research. Why don’t we do it?" The following 3 months were a whirlwind. Can I do this? Turns out, yes I bloody can. We’ve pulled together a fantastic technical team, spoken to hundreds of potential customers, and learned how to build a company from scratch. It amazes me what’s possible when you find your problem. For the first time in my career, while doing the hardest thing I’ve ever done, I’ve not once woken up not wanting to work. I think I’ve truly learnt what it means: if you love what you do- you’ll never work a day. So, without further ado, I’m excited to launch our waitlist for Elita Genetics. We’re closing out the remainder of our pre-seed round. If you’re interested in what we’re doing, drop me a note. Link to the site in the comments ??

    Last week, I went to the best offsite I’ve ever attended. (And not just because it was my own, I swear!) What made it so good? Glad you asked. We started strong with caffeine at ACOFFEE (iykyk) before heading to Linktree HQ, where their fantastic team hosted us for the day. Here’s how it went down: ?? Whole Team Values — Facilitated by the incredible Sonia Clarke (Clever Manka), hands down one of the best values sessions I’ve ever been in. No fluff, just deep, actionable insights. ?? Lunch at CIBI — Because big strategy requires good fuel. ??? Communication & Trust Building — Huge thanks to Sarah Hudson for helping us define not just the company we’re building, but how we show up for each other every day. ?? OKRs & 2025 Strategy — Big goals, big plans. Watch this space. ? Team Astrology Readings — Work styles, communication, collaboration… turns out the stars literally aligned for us. The astrologer said she’s done hundreds of corporate readings and has never seen a team as naturally curious and instinctively in sync as ours. What did I learn? ?? When you put a shit-hot team in a room for a full day, magic happens. Take the time—it’s worth it. ??? Values must be set collectively. Values must be tied to action. Values should drive decision-making. ? Clear communication = speed. And we move fast. ?? Our goals are massive, and we are exactly the right people to pull them off. ?? Throwing a new team member straight into offsite on their first day? Turns out, no better way to start. We both texted after about how energised we felt. Big shout outs ?? ?? Misha Garg—one of her first big whole company projects with us and she absolutely slayed it. ?? Our team—for showing up, leaning in, and bringing their best brains to the table. At the end of the day, over a well-earned slice of pizza, I turned to Jackson Gritching and said: "Today was a full-on ‘holy shit, we have a real company’ moment." He just grinned and said: "Not just a real company. A really bloody good one."

    Melbourne Scientists: Are you looking for a super cool job at a startup? Check this out ?? Elita Genetics, led by the wonderful ?? Paloma Newton, recently closed their first round of funding and is building Australia's first stem cell bank for pets. They’re a super early-stage company, so now's the chance to get in on the ground floor and learn about what it takes to build a company. The founders are looking for the right person to join the team for the long term, rather than a super niche technical skill set. Here are some characteristics they think the right person will have: ?? 2+ years of cell culture experience: Expertise in mammalian cell culture is essential for this role. ?? Entrepreneurial Mindset: You’re excited about working in a fast-paced, quickly changing environment - because that’s exactly what you’ll get in an early-stage startup! ?? Proactive and growth-oriented: You’re good at figuring things out, even when you don’t know all the answers yet. You’re keen to grow your skills inside the laboratory while developing broader skills relevant to company building. ?? Team player: Building a company can be intense, having a strong team of folks who rely on each other is crucial. This is a full time, permanent role based out of the Co-Labs facility in Brunswick. Payment package includes equity! ?? Maybe this isn’t the role for you, but it’d be perfect for someone in your network. I’d really appreciate the reshare if you’re connected with Melbourne-based scientists who might find this interesting! ?? Unfortunately, Elita Genetics is too early stage to be in a position to offer visa sponsorship. Please see the link to the job description below for more information and to apply ?? Also! I am not employed by Elita Genetics, but I know Paloma well and think this would be a great place to work. I have a lot of scientists in my network who could be a great fit ??

    ? What a year! ? We’re Paloma Newton and Jackson Gritching (and Edgar Allan Paws!), the co-founders of Elita Genetics, and we’ve had an absolutely massive 12 months. From moving into our first lab space to building Australia’s first stem cell bank for pets, this year has been nothing short of transformative—for us and the future of pet healthcare. ?? We’re so proud of what Elita Genetics stands for: giving pets longer, healthier lives and giving pet parents the peace of mind that the years they spend together will be the best they possibly can be. But, even founders need to rest & recharge! After such an intense year, we’re taking a week off to rest, reset, and gear up for the exciting road ahead. ?? We’ll be back next week, ready to continue this incredible journey with all of you. In the meantime, say hi to your pets for us. Here’s to our pets who offer unconditional love, put smiles on our faces every day and make each day better than it could be without them by our sides. ???? See you soon, ??

    It’s corny, I know, but the old adage ‘building a startup is like learning to fly a plane while building it’ hits hard. This week has been one for the books—so many highs and lows. The lows? Brutal. But the highs? Absolutely unbeatable. We started this business because we’d do anything for our dog. Becoming a founder is an irrational decision—it’s reckless, borderline absurd, and yet I can’t imagine doing anything else, nor could I imagine doing it with anyone other than my co-founder, Jackson Gritching, who’s been relentless in making this dream happen. A year ago, I was working in a shed on the edge of the Yarra River, piecing together how to build something we knew could be transformative.Now, we’re working out of our lab space, thanks to Andrew Gray and Samuel Wines of CoLabs Australia. Whenever I say, 'We need to do (insert crazy thing here),' they don’t hesitate—they just say, 'Let’s do it., an incredible team of scientists—Jade Jaffar, whose precision, insane experience and ingenuity keep us moving forward, and Jessie X, whose relentless curiosity drives in ways that are hard to quantify. And last but certainly not least, ?? Misha Garg who came in to level up our operations and, in a matter of days, took us from 0 to 100. And of course, our early backers, Side Stage Ventures, Archangel Ventures, M8 Ventures & Startmate —who believed in us before this idea was anything more than a plan in a shed. Over the past year, we’ve built systems from scratch, developed some seriously exciting IP, spoken to more pet owners than I can count, bonded with amazing vets, and—best part—met heaps of dogs. If 2024 was all about figuring it out, being scrappy, and building conviction, then 2025 is going to be a rocket ship. ?? I can’t wait to show you what’s next, put our boldest ideas into action, and make a real difference for the ones who make life better—our pets. ?? ?? Excuse my low-res phone photo because I still love print, but high-res digital link for you in the comments!

    Did you spot our founders at this year's The VET Expo ?? They had an incredible time connecting with exhibitors and vets, exploring the latest innovations in the industry—from insights into the gut microbiome to the role of One Health principles in linking human and animal health for a sustainable future. No stone was left unturned! The conversations highlighted how the human-animal bond is evolving, with our family structures becoming more pet-centric. In fact, a recent Zoetis study found that 81% of dog owners view their pets as equal to their spouse or children. So, where does your pet fit into your family tree? ????

    They say if you love what you do you never work a day in your life but to add to that, when the kind of customers and stakeholders you have are so amazing to work with - 'working' never really feels like 'work'. When we committed to this path, I asked myself: Can I do this, relentlessly, for ten years? Will it have an impact, and can I grow with the people involved? My answer was clear in every meeting with vets and pet owners: I’d be genuinely honoured. Last week, we attended The VET Expo—a super interesting follow-up straight off the back of SXSW, held in the same venue yet worlds apart in focus. Both were inspiring in their own ways, but as a founder in pet healthcare, Vet Expo was my first deep dive into the vet conference world, making it especially exciting for us at Elita Genetics. Being an early-stage founder means spending as much time as possible with our customers, team, and those we work closely with. As Elita grows, veterinarians are a core part of that group, and one of the best parts of this journey has been working with them. Over the past year, a few things about vets have stood out: ?? Vets are inherently good people, driven by a genuine love for animals. I’m honestly yet to find my ‘Mr Burns’ ?? Vets are scientists with one of the toughest jobs—unlike doctors, they need to understand multiple species, AND their patients can’t vocalise to them what’s wrong. ?? Vets are open to innovation and change. Vet Expo really underscored just how hungry this field is for fresh ideas. ?? Vets are innately curious. Every conversation with them is a ‘yes, and’ dialogue, always building on what’s possible. While pet owners are our core customers, vets are part of the community we serve. Elita Genetics started with me asking every vet we took Edgar to about stem cell therapies, and the answer was often the same: “Great progress overseas, but nothing accessible here.” A year later, here we are at Vet Expo, sharing Elita’s vision with countless vets. It’s surreal and exciting, and we can’t wait to be back next year! ???? Jackson Gritching
