The round was led by professional athletes including Olympian Kerri Walsh Jennings and NFL stars Shaq Thompson of the Carolina Panthers and Darren Waller of the Las Vegas Raiders.

The company intends to use the funds to promote marketing growth and continued product innovation as interest in athletic recovery continues to expand.

In addition to Walsh Jennings, Thompson and Waller, the athlete advisory team includes recognizable names like Ben Kanute (U.S. Olympian and Professional Triathlete), Sam Gagner (NHL player for the Winnipeg Jets), Shelby Rogers (American professional tennis player) and Kyle Farmer (MLB player for the Minnesota Twins). The performance advisory team consists of several sports and athletic performance experts such as Dr. Jon Meyer (Director of Performance for the Los Angeles Clippers and Los Angeles Kings), Marjorie Albohm (past-President National Athletic Trainers’ Association), and Alex Guerrero (Co-founder of TB12 with Tom Brady, Fitness Expert).
