en.Wedoany.com Reported - Hexis, an Irish personalized nutrition app startup, has raised $2.1 million in a seed funding round led by Apex Capital. The round also attracted participation from Enterprise Ireland, ScaleX Investments, and Sheffield United striker Patrick Bamford.
Founded in Dublin by Dr. David Dunne, Dr. Xiaoxi Yan, and Dr. Sam Impey, Hexis provides a nutrition operating system for athletes. The company integrates software, wearable technology, and fitness tracking platforms to convert personalized exercise data into tailored nutrition strategies based on users' goals, lifestyle, and training data.
According to reports, Hexis has partnered with nearly 40% of Tour de France cyclists and 50% of Premier League clubs, and plans to expand its geographic reach by focusing on the U.S. market. The company stated that the funds will be used to support product development and scaling.
Hexis CEO Dunne said that Hexis's vision is to become the global nutrition operating system for human performance. He noted that wearable devices and training platforms have transformed how athletes understand training and recovery, but the nutrition component remains lagging and is the missing piece. Hexis aims to complete this picture, making nutrition the smartest training tool. This funding round will help the company deepen its influence in professional sports and lay the foundation for providing personalized, periodized nutrition to athletes at all levels.
Keith Brock, Head of the Sports Technology Investment Portfolio at Enterprise Ireland, stated that the agency is proud to support Hexis in expanding its high-performance nutrition platform from elite sports to the broader consumer market. This investment reflects confidence in the company's scientific foundation, founding team, and global ambitions, as the business already supports professional teams across four continents. He believes that supporting companies like Hexis is central to the strategy of helping aspiring Irish enterprises scale and compete on the international stage, and also highlights the growing strength of Ireland's sports technology sector.
At the end of 2025, Hexis won the grand prize at the National Startup Awards 2025. In addition to being named the overall winner, it also took the top prize in the Tech Startup category, outperforming companies such as Haon Life Sciences, Silicate Carbon, and Glitch.
