The Irish artificial intelligence startup has raised €1.5m led by Elkstone to bring its finance assistant Mary to market.
"With the advent of LLMs, what was once unimaginable is now possible. AI’s capability to ingest and process vast amounts of unstructured data enables us to redefine the boundaries of productivity in the finance department. By taking on tasks that were previously too complex to automate, Mary elevates the role of finance teams and empowers them to engage in higher-value activities that require strategic thinking and creativity."
The pre-seed round was backed by APEX and Sport Republic to support platform and infrastructure development.
"We are delighted to be collaborating with David and the entire Hexis team. In sports performance, proper nutrition plays a critical role, and Hexis stands out by making personalised nutritional guidance accessible to everyone. This kind of support will be crucial for athletes and sports organisations across the board. The Hexis team structure is impressive, with a CEO who has progressed from practitioner to PhD graduate to founder. The broader team of advisers, encompassing both academic and sports backgrounds, helps ensure that the team stays true to its mission of empowering athletes through nutrition. We can’t wait to embark on this journey and see the positive impact Hexis will have on the future of sports performance."
