The extra cash in the kitty will fuel its global growth.
Hintsa will also launch a new mobile app to make its science-based coaching methods accessible to organizations and, eventually, consumers.
The performance startup had closed a round of €6.8 million in 2018.
The startup offers well-being coaching based on proprietary methodologies built on the science of sustainable behavioral change to establish goals, support change, and maintain change long-term.
The approach covers all the areas of health and well-being, from physical activity to sleep and recovery, mental energy, general health, nutrition, and biomechanics.
Hintsa claims its clients have reported over 100% increase in ability to relax during breaks, reduced emotional stress, fatigue, social stress, and burnout risk after completing a Hintsa coaching program.
The startup’s individualized coaching programs are based on optimizing health, well-being, and performance.
