Hexis Raises $2.1 Million to Expand Personalised Nutrition Platform
Hexis has secured $2.1 million in seed funding to accelerate product development and expand its athlete nutrition platform globally.
Hexis has received $2.1 million from seed funding with Apex Capital leading the round. The Irish based company is focusing on personal nutrition and expanding into different markets. The latest funding, in addition to investments backed by Enterprise Ireland, ScaleX Investments and Sheffield United striker Patrick Bamford, represents another important step in sports tech advancement.
The company, established in Dublin by Triad Dunne, Yan, and Impey, incorporates wearables and fitness tracking along with data management software to build custom nutrition plans for athletes.
Funds to Concentrate on Developing the Product
The additional funds will allow the company to focus on the development of the product and help with the expansion to the U.S. Hexis has traction working with 40% of the Tour de France riders and almost half of the Clubs in the Premier league. The platform helps to manage the nutrition side of athlete performance by providing nutrition recommendations based on training and recovery metrics.
“Nutrition Has Been the Missing Layer”: CEO David Dunne
Hexis has plans to become the global leader and control the decentralized nutrition market for sports and human performance.
“Wearables and training platforms have transformed how athletes understand their training and recovery, but nutrition, the fuel behind both, has lagged behind and remained the missing layer,” Dunne said.
“This round allows us to go further, deepening our impact across professional sport while laying the foundations to bring truly personalised, periodised nutrition to every athlete, at every level.”
According to Keith Brock, head of Enterprise Ireland's sports technology portfolio, the investment shows the company's confidence in its science and its ambitions to scale across international markets.
Sportscapeindicates that the fusion of wearable tech, data analysis, and nutrition is crafting new avenues in performance for athletes. Teams fight for that competitive edge, and companies like Hexis are placing nutrition next to training and recovery. Nutrition, training and recovery are all performance building pillars. If personalized nutrition is adopted outside of professional sport, it may become a featured technology of its genre in sports tech and pioneering human performance outside of elite athletics.
