Grant Winner Dr. Abhishek Gupta

We’re proud to share July’s Grant Winner: Abhishek Gupta, founder of iNatural. With STL mentorship and funding, he is bringing his life-saving innovation closer to the communities that need it most.

Each month, Sky’s the Limit awards startup funding to aspiring and early-stage entrepreneurs through our Friends and Family Fund Grant, providing up to $2,500 in support. These grants are more than just a financial boost—they're a signal of belief in bold ideas and underestimated founders.

Dr. Abhishek Gupta, founder of iNatural, was awarded the $2,500 July Friends & Family Grant in the August Live Pitch Competition after making it to the top 3 finalists. At the end of each month, the top 2 most boosted (voted for) pitches on our platform and one wildcard are chosen to compete live the following month.

His company is pioneering hydrogel dressings that transform wound care for vulnerable communities — saving limbs, lives, and healthcare costs with a biosynthetic, personalized solution. Through STL’s mentorship network, Abhishek gained the feedback and encouragement he needed to refine his pitch and share his vision with confidence.

Abhishek’s story shows the real-world change that happens when underestimated entrepreneurs receive the funding, mentorship, and platform to bring life-saving innovations to market. You can listen to him remark on how meaningful this has been for him.
