How Tonas Tech are keeping people moving with athletic longevity
Marianna (Founder and CEO at Tonus Tech) attended a funding webinar organised by Newable and delivered by Alex (Venturenomix director).
A follow-up video meeting convinced the companies to work together – it was the amazing team at Tonus Tech that really impressed.
About Tonas Tech
Tonus Tech has created an AI system in smart wearable garments that not only can track key movement metrics directly but can analyse the quality of movement using Machine Learning, providing an overall Motion Score. The score helps people to learn correct movement patterns, avoid injuries and adapt their training to what is best for them, starting by enhancing stability and strength.
Together We Solve
Tonus Tech planned to open a seed equity round at the end of the year and were ideally placed to leverage this investment with R&D grant funding. Venturenomix stepped in to lead the process of identifying grants and writing grant applications.
Successful Outcomes
The Innovate UK Smart grant success (hopefully the first of many) means Marianna, Dimi and the team have a £265k R&D project funded for the next 12 months. It means the team can work with City University, London, and Newcastle University to deliver a prototype of their soft robotics actuation technology embedded into garments. The seed funding round looks set to complete in record time!
