DNActive, founded in 2016 and headquartered in Granada, Spain, operated within the biotechnology and consumer genomics sector. The company positioned itself as a developer of a wellness and fitness application that utilized genetic information to provide personalized health, nutrition, and fitness plans.
The core of DNActive's service was a platform that offered personalized genetic tests to determine a patient's predisposition to various diseases, including diabetes, osteoporosis, and celiac disease. Based on these genetic results, the company provided tailored guidelines such as disease prevention strategies, nutritional itineraries, adapted physical training, and customized supplementation. This approach aimed to help patients and healthcare professionals make more informed decisions, potentially avoiding adverse effects or therapeutic failures associated with generic treatments.
The business model targeted several client segments. DNActive collaborated with clinics, laboratories, and pharmacies, providing them with its genetic testing solutions. Additionally, the company offered its services directly to consumers through its website. This multi-channel approach allowed them to tap into both professional healthcare markets and the direct-to-consumer wellness space. The company's revenue was presumably generated from the sale of these genetic testing kits and subsequent personalized plans.
DNActive secured approximately $422,000 in total funding, including a notable seed round of about $416,000 (€370,000) on March 12, 2019, with investors like 15k Angels, SouthUp Ventures, and StartupLabs Spain participating. Despite this backing and its presence in the growing field of personalized medicine, the company has been marked as 'Out of Business' or 'Deadpooled' as of May 2023.
