Today, I’m joined by Meridith Cass, founder & CEO of Nix Biosensors, creators of a biometric patch that extracts real-time hydration data from human sweat.
Through a reusable wearable device, Nix gives individuals the access and tools to understand their health in terms of sweat rate, electrolyte loss rate, and sweat composition. Its flagship product helps endurance athletes track, analyze, and strategize hydration, optimizing performance with a recommended combination of fluids and fuel.
In this episode, Meridith details the technology behind the company’s sweat-tracking patch and why Nix is focused on endurance athletes before expanding into new markets.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• How Meridith’s background in VC is guiding her development of
Nix
• How the Nix Hydration Biosensor captures electrochemical
biomarkers
• Nix’s initial GTM strategy and its surprise organic growth across
additional markets
