KO Client Calorify Raises Pre-Seed Round to Commercialize Metabolism Testing

KO client Calorify, a metabolic testing startup, recently announced that it has raised nearly $500,000 in a pre-seed round to expand its work with clinical trials, medical practices, and professional sports teams.

With the funding, Calorify plans to execute its go-to-market plan for its metabolic testing kit that the company has created and commercialized to get accurate energy expenditure measurements, powered by doubly labeled water.

“Everything to do with athletic performance — ultimately, on some level — has to come down to energy, and we just think that measuring it is going to open open the door for all these sport scientists, for all these athletes, to just understand and improve their bodies in a way that wasn’t possible before this technology,” Calorify founder and CEO Hari Mix said in the announcement.

The investors included Santa Clara Ventures, Santa Cruz Ventures, Vaigai Ventures, HealthTech Capital, and angel investors.

KO Law partner John Gaddis, attorney John Kyed, and paralegal Sara Richissin represented Calorify in the financing. Learn more in Sports Business Journal.
