Manchester-based health and sports tech startup Prorizon has raised £400k in a pre-seed funding round.
The funding will enable the business to enhance its platform, integrating advanced AI technologies to provide personalised and preventative interventions for individuals managing both physical and psychological stress.
Its mission is to optimise long-term health and performance while tackling the root causes of stress, particularly among young people working in highly competitive environments.
Prorizon’s app enables individuals to monitor and manage their mental and physical stress.
The investment comes from GC Angels and was raised alongside an Innovate UK Investor partnership award with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport (DCMS) and other angel investors.
In the coming 12 months, Prorizon is looking to expand its footprint in the sporting industry, with a strong emphasis on professional sports teams.
