Cologne, Germany β After two years of intensive development, Cologne-based HealthTech startup Performula is officially making its public debut β backed by a strong lineup of investors. In its latest angel funding round, prominent figures including eSports pioneer Ralf Reichert, angel investor Sebastian Kroth, and professional footballer and business angel Mario GΓΆtze joined the cap table. GΓΆtze, who has been a dedicated user of the product for two years, jumped at the opportunity to invest. Also coming on board as an exceptionally early institutional partner is Berlin Food Week Ventures, impressed by Performulaβs potential in an underserved niche of the supplement market.
From marketing hype to medical precision
βThe industry needs a new standard β one built not on marketing promises or influencer endorsements, but on lab data, evidence-based science, and true expertsβ says co-founder Sebastian Wirtz.
Performula positions itself as a medical partner in the supplement space, delivering individually formulated micronutrient blends developed by physicians and nutrition experts. Each formula is based on comprehensive blood and biomarker analyses, scientifically validated, AI-powered, and dynamically adaptable. The focus: preventive health, enhanced performance, and targeted support for key life stages such as pregnancy, menopause, and healthy aging.
βOur vision is to rethink health β shifting from reactive care to active health design. Especially in high-performance environments and sensitive life phases, itβs essential that people not only live longer but live better,β says Sebastian Wirtz.
Medical advice, precise formulas
Performula is building a platform that enables medical professionals and nutritionists to create tailor-made formulations from a vast library of micronutrients and plant-based active ingredients. An accompanying, self-learning algorithm continuously optimizes these β individually, adaptively, and grounded in science.
Performula assembles an interdisciplinary nutritional medicine expert team
At the heart of this effort is an interdisciplinary medical team led by co-founder Dr. med. Jan Vonhoegen, one of the leading figures in modern nutritional medicine and performance enhancement. Joining from day one is Dr. med. Silja Friedsam, current team physician of the German national football team, along with other renowned specialists about to join. Together, they aim to set a new global standard in personalized micronutrient supply.
Mission & Vision
Because health and performance are as unique as the individuals they serve, Performula is committed to shaping the future of preventive healthcare with scientifically backed, deeply personalized micronutrient solutions tailored to each personβs life stage, performance goals, and health objectives.
