As this year’s winners, 3 Waves Wellness, Natáur and Theorem will be joining SANS at its new venue—Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines—to present their companies and network with the industry.
3 Waves Wellness
3 Waves Wellness helps people transform their lives by aligning their biochemistry, brain and emotions because real change starts from the inside out. 3 Waves integrates innovation (science-backed nutraceuticals), education (Certified Mental Wellness Coach program) and incubation (sustainable ingredient partnerships) to advance the mental-fitness movement. Through the lens of the gut-heart-brain axis, 3 Waves bridges cutting-edge research with practical tools for resilience, mood and everyday excellence.
Natáur
Natáur is a biotechnology company advancing sports and active nutrition with clean-label ingredients. Its mission is to transform how essential nutrients are made using fermentation to deliver compounds with superior purity and safety. The lead product is taurine from renewable sugars, with higher purity than the current petrochemical supply, avoiding heavy metals and toxic byproducts. Taurine supports energy metabolism, endurance, muscle recovery and thermoregulation. Natáur’s process enables scalable deployment, improving supply resilience and meeting athletes’ demand for sustainable performance nutrition.
