Andreessen Horowitz led a $2 million investment for the start-up in 2015, as more money has been poured into biohacking-related startups in recent years.

The co-founder said he anticipated a shift wherein people who did not have a diagnosed medical need for pharmaceuticals regularly seek cognitive enhancements.
“You’re seeing this broad consumer excitement around ‘human body’ as a platform and around biohacking,” Brandt said. “Healthy people want to be optimized versions of themselves … You just want to have a better day. You want to be a better version of yourself.”
