A NeuroTech startup dedicated to helping people regulate stress and unlock peak performance has raised 拢850,000 in pre-seed funding.聽
This investment will support the launch of MindSpire鈥檚 first device, SONA, a medical-grade wearable that delivers precision-coded electrical pulses to the vagus nerve, activating brain circuits for calm, focus and enhanced learning.
It is also supported by early clinical studies for the treatment of stress, tinnitus, Parkinson鈥檚 Disease and chronic pain.
The round was led by SFC Capital, with participation from SyndicateRoom and non-dilutive innovation funding secured via Innovate UK鈥檚 Investor Partnership Programme.
The Kent-based firm is looking to make advanced nervous system care more effective for high performers and meaningful for those who need it most.聽
Early sales of its flagship device will continue to fund research into how the technology can relieve chronic stress in people facing real-world challenges such as anxiety, long COVID, trauma, burnout and frontline fatigue.
鈥淥ur goal is to create a solution that performs just as well for executives managing stress and recovery as it does for individuals rebuilding from chronic conditions,鈥� said Jane Ollis, CEO and founder, MindSpire.
鈥淚t reflects our commitment to making nervous system care accessible, especially for those who need it most.鈥澛�
