🏃♀️ Let's reimagine fitness apps! The empathetic AI training platform Trait secures €1 million seed funding from HTGF | High-Tech Gründerfonds, the angel club better ventures and other private investors. 💡 The funding enables TRAIT to realize their vision of an empathetic and adaptive training environment that is not only focused on performance, but also on the well-being of the runners. ❤️ At the heart of the company is the desire to marry science-based training with a sense of community. The team’s research indicated that people weren’t reaching their goals due to a lack of statistics or workouts, but because either their plans lacked flexibility, or they didn’t have the support network when they needed it. 💬 Raphael Jung, CEO of TRAIT, says: "With TRAIT, we have developed an app that is as empathetic and understanding as a human coach would be. We help people get back into sport. We combine sports science and AI training with real social, mutual supportiveness. With the help of HTGF, selected business angels from better ventures and other private investors, we are ready to revolutionize the way people think about being fit." 🗨 Johannes Dierkes, Investment Manager at HTGF, comments: "We are excited about TRAIT's vision and approach to creating an empathetic and adaptive AI training platform for athletes. It's designed to strengthen individuals not just physically, but also mentally." 🥳 Congratulations to Raphael, his co-founder Matthias Ettrich and the whole team! 👉 Learn more in our press release: https://lnkd.in/e6A-sEVD

🎉 Congratulations to our portfolio company Draupnir Bio on receiving €12 million in financing to progress the development of an oral small molecule degrader of extracellular proteins! MP Healthcare, the corporate venture group of Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Europe Limited, and the Export and Investment Fund of Denmark (EIFO), a financing fund backed by the Danish government, join Draupnir’s existing investors.
We are delighted to announce that we have received €12 million from investors to further the development of our oral, small molecule degraders of extracellular pathogenic proteins – the next frontier of targeted protein degradation (#TPD). TPD is a rapidly emerging field that exploits a cell’s own destruction machinery to tackle disease-causing proteins that have historically been highly challenging to target with conventional therapies. Our pioneering approach, which extends the potential of TPD to both extracellular and membrane-bound proteins, holds great potential to revolutionise the field. Proceeds from this financing will be used to further develop our risk-diversified preclinical pipeline of protein degraders which have been validated against proven targets and those which have been traditionally difficult to drug. Many thanks to our new #investors, MP Healthcare, the venture arm of Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Europe Limited, and the Export and Investment Fund of Denmark (#EIFO), as well as existing investors Gilde Healthcare, Inkef and Novo Holdings.
