My Start up Story: Hexis
Driven by a desire to address nutritional challenges faced in professional sports Dr Sam Impey, co-founded Hexis in 2018 alongside, David Dunne.
Hexis allows nutritionists, trainers, and sports organisations to predictively personalise the nutritional needs of their athletes. Based on unique demands of workouts, lifestyle and goals the technology analyses dietary intake and provides feedback and data visualisations to help athletes fuel smarter, perform better and recover faster. The technology is trusted by some of the world’s top sports nutritionists and has been used to power the performance of Olympic medalists and World Champions.
As well as detailing the unique elements of the Hexis offer, Sam talks about: –
• Transitioning from his accomplished academic environment into the uncertain and challenging world of starting and scaling a business
• How his scientific background helps him control overwhelm
• The importance of a complementary and motivational co-founder, Simon Roberts
• His inspirational mum who raised him alone
• How in spite of his dyslexia he gained a PhD and
• The book which provided him with a unique insight on leadership.
Our conversation with Sam starts at 03:52.
