Company Overview
Apollo Neuro is the first vibration therapy system clinically proven to reduce stress, improve sleep, and restore the nervous system.
Growth-Stage Opportunity
Apollo launched with a consumer wearable and grew to $10MM+ in annual revenues. However, the company realized a massive opportunity to expand into a multi-factor platform to scale and positively impact more live. This critical transition required additional capital, expanding revenue streams, proving GTM success, refactoring the team, and achieving key company milestones.
Supernova Impact
