INVESTMENT OF THE WEEK

๐Ÿ’Š Yakuru: One Routine for Your Supplements, Ring and Training Data

Yakuru: Fuel. Track. Improve.

The pitch: You buy supplements. You wear a ring or a watch. You train. Each one lives in a different app, and none of them talk to each other. Yakuru puts all of it into one daily routine that tells you what to do today.

How it works:

  • Three formulas: LIVE for the morning, TRAIN for your sessions and SLEEP for the night

  • One wearable: the Yakuru Ultra Ring tracks heart rate, HRV, sleep and activity

  • One AI coach: answers questions like "should I train hard today?" from your own data

  • No new ring required: it already connects to Apple Health, WHOOP, Garmin, Oura, Fitbit and more

The Yakuru app next to the Yakuru Ultra Ring

Why it matters: Health tracking has a "so what?" problem. A ring gives you a score each morning, but a score describes yesterday. Yakuru's bet is that the routine is the product: what you take, what your body does and what to change next, all in one place.

THE PROOF

๐Ÿ“ฆ This Is Past the Idea Stage

Yakuru LIVE, TRAIN and SLEEP formulas, the Ultra Ring and the Yakuru app

The scoreboard:

  • 3 formulas, LIVE, TRAIN and SLEEP, made and in stock

  • 1,000 Ultra Rings in stock, and the app is live on iOS and Android

  • Oct 30: first shipments scheduled. That is this Friday

  • Union Omaha, the pro soccer club, signed as founding team partner

  • Private investors already in include Harbertson Capital and Bella Capital

Why we are featuring it now: Most startup raises you see are a slide deck and a promise. Yakuru has inventory on the shelf, an app in both stores, and a launch date this week.

The round on Republic is open to everyone, accredited or not. This may be the only time individual investors can get into Yakuru at this stage. When the round closes, it closes.

THE FOUNDERS

๐Ÿค Founders You Can Actually Talk To

  • Stewart Adams, co-founder and CEO: 20+ years in technology. Built CHUR Networks. Leads the product, app and data platform.

  • Mandon Bossi, co-founder and CBO: runs manufacturing and commercial partners.

  • David Cook, co-founder and CMO: leads brand, customer acquisition and the Union Omaha partnership.

THE FINE PRINT

โš–๏ธ What to Weigh Before You Invest

  • It is early. Yakuru is pre-revenue until its October 30 launch, so there are no sales numbers to judge yet.

  • Subscriptions live or die on retention. The key thing to watch is how many customers keep buying after month one.

  • It is a crowded aisle. Oura, WHOOP and big supplement brands all want the same customer.

  • Startup shares are illiquid. Only invest money you can lock up for years and afford to lose.

Read the Form C and risk factors on Republic before you decide.

Hit reply and tell us: would you use one app for your supplements, ring and training? We read every reply.

See you soon,
