Founded in 2021, Bearmind is helping high-impact sports teams control the number of concussive hits athletes receive, thus reducing the risk of long-term brain damage. The startup just closed a CHF 1.3 million seed round to consolidate its efforts on pursuing clinical validation and establishing lasting collaborations in the Swiss National League.
The funding round was led by H.Hentsch Asset Management, and included participation from AVANTECA Partners AG, NP Consulting, Swisspreneur, and several business angels. Cofounded by Mathieu Falbriard (CEO), Tom Bertrand (MSc EPFL, COO) et Benoît Mariani (Member of the BoD, advisor), Bearmind is developing wearables and software for brain injury prevention and performance optimisation in sports.
Contacted by Startupticker.ch, co-founder and COO Tom Bertrand explains that September 22nd, 2022 was a milestone date for his startup as it started collaborating officially with the Swiss National League. Since then, Bearmind has been working on clinical validation with the hockey clubs as well as with the CHUV and EPFL. Apart from the fundraising, the team has also filed a patent to protect its technology, and hired a new experienced developer. Today, Bearmind is focused on product development, creating new partnerships in the field hockey industry and acquiring customers for the next season.
