Nextiles combines flexible electronics and patented fabric-based sewing technology to create wearable sensors and a data analytics platform that quantifies raw forces, range of motion, micromovements and other performance metrics. The company is currently in market with baseball and tennis and participates in the NBA’s inaugural NBA Launchpad initiative. Nextiles plans to launch its Nextiles Sleeve platform in the tennis market and in collegiate baseball later this summer, and to introduce a suite of ground force products in early fall for select customers. The company is led by CEO Dr. George Sun and focuses on applying materials science to athlete biometrics. Financially, Nextiles raised a $5M Seed round in this financing and now has total funding of over $6M. Its funding base also includes two Small Business Innovation Research grants awarded in late 2021 by the National Science Foundation and the Air Force for biometric research.
