Celiapp

Founder: Tania Batista, Sam Giorgievski, & Nick Ferracuti

Celiapp empowers individuals with celiac disease to confidently navigate their gluten-free lifestyle through AI-powered food scanning, community insights, and comprehensive lifestyle tools.

Living with celiac disease creates a constant mental burden around food safety. Every meal becomes a potential health risk, turning simple activities like grocery shopping or dining out into complex, time-consuming challenges that can trigger dangerous symptoms, anxiety and social isolation.

The celiac community is rapidly growing - 1 in 3 people globally carry the celiac gene, with 1% currently diagnosed. Experts are finding that cases are rising for reasons unknown, and with the addition of improved testing and awareness, these numbers continue to rise, creating an urgent need for better support tools.

Our founder Sam's journey with celiac disease revealed a critical gap in the market. While the celiac community demonstrated incredible strength and knowledge-sharing, the lack of reliable, tech-forward tools meant individuals were still struggling unnecessarily with day-to-day decisions.
