Sundose

Sundose operates in the personalized health and wellness market, providing data-driven dietary supplements tailored to individual needs. The company was founded in 2017 by Michał Gołkiewicz and Tomasz Styk, and officially launched in Poland in 2018. The founders' journey began earlier, with the establishment of a specialist dietary clinic for professional athletes in 2013, which expanded to non-athletes in 2015. This experience provided deep insights into nutritional challenges, leading to the creation of Sundose to offer a more effective alternative to mass-produced supplements.

The company's business model is direct-to-consumer (D2C) through its e-commerce platform. Revenue is generated via a monthly subscription service. Customers receive a box containing 30 daily sachets, each with a personalized mix of nutrients. The personalization process begins with an extensive online health survey that covers lifestyle, diet, and health goals. For greater accuracy, users can also submit recent blood test results. Based on this data, the company's nutritionists and proprietary algorithm formulate a unique blend of vitamins, minerals, omega-3 fatty acids, probiotics, and antioxidants. The formula can be recalibrated monthly to adapt to changes in a customer's lifestyle or health data, with plans to integrate data from fitness wearables and other medical diagnostics.

The product itself consists of a powder to be mixed with water and separate capsules, all packaged in a single daily sachet for convenience. Sundose emphasizes the purity of its ingredients, which are free from preservatives and fillers, requiring the product to be refrigerated. The platform can create billions of unique formulations from its selection of over 40 ingredients. Since its inception, Sundose has expanded from its native Poland to other European markets, including the UK, Germany, and Italy. The company has secured significant funding to fuel this growth, including a $6 million Series A round in 2021 led by DX Ventures and Atmos Ventures, bringing its total funding to over $7 million.
