Unlocking Human Potential:
Why Leo Lion Invested in Neurable and Paradromics
At the heart of Leo Lion’s investment philosophy lies a deep conviction: that commercial enterprise can and must be a driver of inclusive social progress. This commitment is evident in our strategic investments in Neurable and Paradromics, two neurotechnology companies creating groundbreaking tools with transformative potential for both disability inclusion and education innovation.
Paradromics: Bridging Silence with Signal
​
Paradromics develops high-bandwidth brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) designed to restore communication for people with severe neurological conditions such as ALS, spinal cord injuries, and stroke. These conditions often leave individuals cognitively intact but physically unable to communicate—locked-in, isolated, and underserved by traditional assistive technologies.
​
Leo Lion’s investment in Paradromics supports their mission to bring practical, medically grounded BCIs to market. Unlike moonshot competitors chasing speculative futures, Paradromics is focused on clinical viability and assistive communication, already progressing toward human trials with FDA engagement. The potential to re-enable speech or digital interaction for voiceless patients is not just a technological milestone—it’s a societal imperative.
​
As Matt Angle, Paradromics’ founder and CEO, emphasized, “The goal is to restore a fundamental human need – connection.”
The future scope is even broader: once proven, Paradromics’ platform could be adapted for educational contexts, enabling non-verbal learners with disabilities to interact more fully in both classroom and remote settings, revolutionizing accessibility in learning environments.
Neurable: Making the Invisible, Visible
​
Where Paradromics serves those with profound impairment, Neurable empowers the broader population to understand and improve their cognitive function.
​
Their non-invasive EEG sensors, coupled with an AI engine aptly named the BrainOS platform, are embedded in everyday wearables like headphones—unlocking real-time, actionable insights that enhance focus, support mental wellness, and elevate overall human performance. This enables self-regulated learning, ADHD support, and early detection of cognitive decline—all without the need for clinical environments or specialized equipment.
​
Neurable’s potential in neurodiverse education is especially compelling. Its passive monitoring could empower teachers to personalize instruction and pacing, while its hands-free technology opens new doors for students with mobility or communication challenges.
​
CEO Ramses Alcaide’s origin story—developing brain-computer interfaces to assist children with cerebral palsy—perfectly encapsulates Leo Lion’s ethos: harnessing innovation to unlock human potential, especially for those historically left behind.
Why It Matters: Education and Disability at the Core
Leo Lion’s broader education initiatives—such as Bloom EdTech and specialist schools like Undershaw and Pathways—aim to bridge the gap between learning and life readiness for SEND learners. Paradromics and Neurable extend this mission into the neurotechnology frontier.
Whether enabling the most physically restricted individuals to communicate (Paradromics) or empowering students and workers to understand their minds better (Neurable), these companies embody Leo Lion’s vision for a capitalism that reduces inequality, drives inclusion, and transforms lives through technology.
We see a future where every mind has a voice—and every learner, regardless of ability, has a path forward.
