Elo Raises $10M A-Round and Launches Smart Protein – The First Wearable-Powered Protein Formulated for Optimal Recovery

Harnessing the power of wearable technology, individual biomarker data, and AI, Elo’s Smart Protein takes personalized protein powder to a new level of precision

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today, Elo – the Smart Nutrition company – is excited to announce a $10M Series A round led by Octopus Ventures, one of the most active VC firms in Europe. Will Ventures and Re:food.vc also contributed to the round. Elo will use the funds to grow their product development and marketing teams (yes, we are hiring!) and scale up the Smart Supplement and Protein products.

Elo is also proud to introduce their second product, Smart Protein – the first-ever protein product tailor-made for your biomarkers, goals, and activity data. See Elo Smart Protein launch video.

Underpinned by a firm foundation of science, Elo’s patent-pending recommendation engine utilizes activity data from wearables, health history, and personal goals, to create a personalized protein blend for each member. Available in chocolate, vanilla, and plain flavor, Elo’s non-GMO Smart Protein blends are built on a base of grass-fed whey protein or pea protein isolate (vegan) and contain other functional ingredients such as super greens, turmeric, and collagen, depending on your unique nutrition profile and recovery goals.

Elo Smart Protein is the first protein product to provide post-workout protein dosing recommendations based on the intensity and duration of each activity recorded in Apple Health. By linking Apple Health workout data to the Elo app, Elo members can receive custom protein dosing recommendations based on the intensity and duration of every workout.

Elo’s Smart Protein Powder is the second product launched by the Smart Nutrition brand. Smart Protein membership includes personalized protein delivered monthly and unlimited messages with a dedicated registered dietitian via the Elo app.

Elo unveiled its first product – a monthly Smart Supplement membership that includes at-home biomarker testing, nutrition coaching, and custom supplement packs delivered monthly – in 2022. For more information, please visit www.elo.health.
