MuscleSound, a Denver, CO-based startup leveraging glycogen testing to detect and prevent soft-tissue muscle injuries across a variety of industries, secured $4.3m in seed funding.
Multiple angel investors participated in the round.
Led by CEO Stephen Kurtz, MuscleSound utilizes non-invasive ultrasound to develop a patented SaaS platform to instantly measure and analyze glycogen content levels. Glycogen is the primary energy source used during periods of high-intensity exertion. The company is focusing its initial efforts in the professional and amateur sports markets, providing real-time data analysis of a player’s nutritional and recovery needs and offering recommendations to replenish glycogen levels. It is also expanding into medicine and animal health markets where it expects substantial growth.
The training staffs of teams worldwide currently leverage MuscleSound, including the Colorado Rockies, Dallas Mavericks, the University of Colorado and Oregon State University, as well as global Olympic teams and soccer clubs in the United Kingdom.
