Ultrahuman is one of the biggest innovators in the world, in the space of Metabolic Fitness. Based on your glucose data, they provide recommendations to improve your nutrition and training.
They have raised more than $25m until date, and we've been working together to make it super easy for all their users to connect their wearables, through Terra.
In this conversation with Mohit and Vatsal, I was surprised to find that they are bringing a sensor to the market, soon enough, that measures multiple biomarkers - and one of the data points will be blue light measurement!
Even more though, their story is inspiring. They have previously build Runrr, one of the most successful last mile logistics platform in India - and were acquired by Zomato. At a point, they had 500,000 operators!
