Description: We are Styku. We provide health clubs, medical centers, and other wellness businesses 3D body imaging & body composition technology. Where weight scales fail to show progres, Styku successfully maps your shape, posture, body composition in 3D enabling you to see your progress. With a low cost camera rig, a turntable, and some sophisticated algorithms, we’re able to reproduce your body in seconds, then extract hundreds of measurements like your waist circumference, hip, chest, body fat %, and more. Professionals utilize our biometrics to track health- outcomes of their clients, motivating them to continue along their wellness journey. As a result, our customers see increased revenue, retention, and profitability. We are a data company compiling, arguably, the world’s largest and most valuable biometric dataset. Although we are heads down building marketshare, various industries are already requesting access to our dataset. Clothing, medical, insurance, gaming, security, and other verticals would love to leverage our 3D scans to build further insight into their customers, recommend and personlize products, and perhaps disrupt their own markets. We are well past product-market fit, profitable, and have experienced more than 125% Y/Y growth for two consecutive years. Well known gym chains like Gold’s Gym are currently rolling out our technology across all 150 of their clubs. And several leading fitness brands have executed LOIs to continue our expansion. In only 24 months, we’ve sold over 400+ devices to professionals and businesses in 30 different countries. As a result, our web platform has collected over 200,000 scans, and continues to aggregate new scans every 2-3 mins. We are pioneering a new field of 3D biometrics and scaling a new visual 3D dataset of the human body. With a team size of only 8 people, Styku has managed to bootstrap its way to positive cash-flow and 7 figure annual sales in only three years and with less than a million in outside funding. Styku is LA-based, a Techstars graduate, with a founding team who’s experience spans NASA, HP, Microsoft, and Tukatech and is now looking to raise strategic and/or institutional capital to finance the next stage of growth.
