Beyondbmi, a medically-led digital obesity clinic, has closed a €1 million seed funding round led by private investors and Enterprise Ireland.
The University College Dublin (UCD) spin-out company has now raised a total of over €1.5 million this year.
Beyondbmi, which is headquartered at NovaUCD in Dublin, addresses obesity through personalised medical interventions, community support, and what it describes as "cutting-edge" technology.
The company said the funding will be used to further develop and expand services.
It will invest in its mobile app, hire additional staff, and expand its expert clinician team - bringing in more specialists .
"Beyondbmi's mission goes beyond weight loss, it focuses on the significant health gains its clients experience," said Dr Harriet Treacy, CEO, Beyondbmi.
"These improvements range from increased mobility, reduced reliance on blood pressure medications, and a return to more active and engaged lives with their families," she added.
Ms Treacy said the company plans to expand operations to the UK next year.
The latest funding round was supported by new and existing investors including Mick Slein - Chairman of Robus, David O’Reilly, Paddy Dillion - Head of Corporate Finance in Grant Thornton, Bill Walsh, John Purdy - Chairman of Ergo and Beyondbmi, among others.
