New Envolve Investments 

New investments are resulting from EnvolveXL’s 2nd cohort. Envolve continues to grow their portfolio with two new investments in Health4Crew and Puberry. The EnvolveXL program and investments are funded and supported by Libra Philanthropies, the founding sponsor of EnvolveXL, through the accelerator’s final stage, “Investing for Good.” 

The two startups were selected for their strong growth potential, innovative approach, and global outlook, reinforcing EnvolveXL’s commitment to supporting founders and companies with the ability to scale quickly and create meaningful market impact. 

Alexandros Nousias, Managing Director of Envolve Entrepreneurship, commented: 

“At the heart of every innovative venture are the people behind it, founders who dare to create solutions with real impact and international potential. Our investments in Puberry and Health4Crew reflect exactly that: visionary teams with global ambition and a drive to grow across borders. This is the same spirit we aim to showcase through the pitches of the 3rd cohort teams of EnvolveXL at Founders Arena 2026 on June 16.” 

Puberry operates at the intersection of EdTech and HealthTech, redefining health education for children and teenagers through interactive, game-based content developed and certified by medical professionals. The new investment will support the company’s expansion in both the US and Greece, helping meet growing demand and support the expected onboarding of new students and schools for the 2026–2027 academic year. 

Dimitra Mallios, CEO & Founder of Puberry, commented: “We’re very excited to be collaborating with EnvolveXL and the team to continue growing Puberry and expanding not only in the Greek market, but the EU and US as well. The resources through EnvolveXL supports our broader outreach and brand recognition, furthering Puberry’s credibility in the EdTech / HealthTech market”. 

Health4Crew is a HealthTech company specializing in the maritime sector, providing digital healthcare services for seafarers and shipping companies. Through this investment, the company aims to strengthen its market presence, expand and further develop its medical team, and accelerate the rollout of new capabilities across its technology infrastructure. 

Agathi Natsi, Co-Founder & CEO of Health4Crew, commented: “We are deeply grateful to the Envolve team for their investment and invaluable support, through the acceleration and mentoring program. Their guidance and belief in our vision have played a key role in Health4Crew’s growth journey. Building on Greece’s strong maritime heritage, our goal is to support shipping companies worldwide and grow into a leading global player in maritime healthcare.” 

Rosanna Mortoglou, CEO of Libra Philanthropies, commented: “At Libra Philanthropies, we strongly believe that entrepreneurship can, and should, serve as a driver of positive change. Through the ‘Investing for Good’ stage of EnvolveXL, we actively support startups such as Puberry and Health4Crew, which combine technological innovation with a strong social impact in the fields of health and education. We are proud to serve as the founding sponsor of this initiative, empowering a new generation of entrepreneurs who dare to create solutions with meaningful impact on people’s lives.”
