- Kinotek
Participated · Seed · Oct 2021
Kinotek provides an advanced motion-capture platform that analyzes a series of user movements without the need for wearables, generating 3D visualizations and detailed metrics on mobility, asymmetries and movement efficiency. Delivered as a B2B SaaS product, the system equips fitness, sports and medical professionals with actionable insights and personalized exercise programming for their clients. Early adopters include the MLB’s Cincinnati Reds, national fitness operator Life Time, and regional gym chains such as Healthtrax, which credited the platform with boosting personal-training revenue by over $550,000 last year. Because the platform is live and client-friendly, it enhances engagement and retention for gyms while helping practitioners prevent injuries and improve healthspan for users. The company positions movement quality as a leading indicator of longevity and overall health. Headquartered in Maine, Kinotek targets sports teams, healthcare providers and fitness facilities in the U.S. and abroad. The newly raised capital strengthens its balance sheet and will be directed toward team expansion and broader commercial scaling efforts. Prior to this round, Kinotek had raised seed funding, though specific amounts were not disclosed in the articles provided.
