After nearly three decades in aesthetic medicine and light therapy, Dr. Matthew Jafarzadeh is betting on a new wave of consumer healthcare innovation. The founder and CEO of Cosmo Innovations has unveiled SkinGate — a skincare infusion device he believes could reshape the $65 billion home beauty tech market.

Speaking at Emergence 2025, Dr. Jafarzadeh described SkinGate as “the next evolution in skincare delivery.” The patented device combines radio frequency, LED light, galvanic technology, and real-time skin analysis to deliver measured doses of active serums, aiming to significantly improve absorption and efficacy compared to manual application.

“Manual skincare application leads to inconsistent results — not to mention hygiene issues,” he said. “We’ve engineered a capsule-based delivery system that ensures uniform treatment with minimal waste, tailored to the user’s individual skin profile.”

The product sits within a broader portfolio developed by Cosmo Innovations — a holding company that owns more than 110 patents and trademarks across medtech, drug delivery, oral health, and consumer aesthetic technologies. The company is currently offering two investment pathways: through the parent entity, Cosmo Innovations, valued at A$45 million, or via its SkinGate subsidiary, Cosmo Skin, valued at A$30 million.

“Some investors are drawn to the entire IP suite, while others prefer to focus on SkinGate and its immediate commercial upside,” said Dr. Jafarzadeh. The company is currently seeking to raise USDA$3 million to fund manufacturing and international distribution of the SkinGate device.

Partnership discussions are also underway, with Cosmo targeting strategic alliances across marketing, distribution, and capital markets. “Our aim is not just to attract capital — we want smart capital,” he said, adding that Cosmo is targeting an IPO on either the Hong Kong Exchange or NASDAQ by 2027.

Longer term, Dr. Jafarzadeh has set his sights beyond skincare. With the launch of SkinGate expected to generate positive cash flow, he plans to commercialise additional IP already developed under the Cosmo umbrella. He also spoke of ambitions to establish Little Brain — an education initiative aimed at cultivating innovation and creative thinking in young children.

“Our technologies are designed to improve everyday health and wellbeing, but I also want to invest in the next generation of creators,” he said.

Reflecting on his experience at Emergence 2025, Dr. Jafarzadeh praised the event for its calibre of attendees and investor engagement. “It’s rare to find such a high-quality mix of stakeholders in one room. The atmosphere has been dynamic, supportive, and commercially minded.”

For Cosmo Innovations, the path forward is clear: capitalise on a maturing consumer health tech market, scale through strategic investment, and position Australian innovation on the global stage.

Forget Startups: Why Magnetic Alliance is Betting on “Boring” Mid-Market Turnarounds

While Australia’s venture capital scene spent years chasing unprofitable tech startups and speculative high-growth plays, Mark Lim was quietly taking a radically different path. The Managing Partner of Magnetic Alliance Capital sees the nation’s richest investment opportunities hiding in plain sight: inside thousands of unglamorous, profitable, but operationally sluggish mid-market businesses. Speaking on Wholesale Investor’s […]

The asset class where the market has no vote

Litigation funding returns are decided in a courtroom, not a cycle. Knightsbridge’s Head of Capital is careful to call that a different risk rather than a lower one, and his answer to it is spread, not concentration. Most alternative assets still answer to something. Property answers to rates. Private credit answers to defaults. Even the […]

The listing fee vendors pay whether the house sells or not

Australia’s property portals collect more than $2 billion a year while national listings sit flat. An Australian-built AI platform is targeting the economics, not just the interface. An Australian vendor listing a home pays a vendor-paid advertising fee on top of agency commission. Rama Dwarapudi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of RealSearch, puts a typical […]
