Personalized Supplement Company Bioniq Raises $15M In Funds
The health-tech company will use the funding to continue its global disruption of the supplements market.

Bioniq, a health-tech company leveraging blood biomarker data to provide tailor-made supplements, yesterday announced the closing of a $15M Series B funding program. The oversubscribed round was led by Principal Investors HV Capital and Unbound.
The company is now valued at $75M and the fresh influx of funds will be used to further expand its global market share and continued innovation in the dietary supplements sector.
Bioniq entered the UAE in 2021, and has since expanded across the Gulf region. The company has partnered with Abu Dhabi’s Department of Culture and Tourism, along with Metabolic, a digital therapeutics company, and Al Borg Diagnostics, a leading provider of diagnostic services in Saudi Arabia.
“We’ve entered a new era in nutritional supplementation over the last six years, where it’s become clear that one-size-fits-all solutions are simply inefficient,” said Vadim Fedotov, co-founder and CEO of Bioniq. “Everyone’s health journey is unique. Customers need advanced, adaptable products that provide evolving support for personal health goals. Our AI-driven approach and extensive biochemical database allow us to create customized supplements that provide quantifiable results and cater to individuals’ specific needs”.
Over the last decade, Bioniq has developed a huge biochemical database, leveraging blood test data from clients spanning 5 continents. The AI-powered algorithm used by the company assesses each individual’s height, weight, age, lifestyle, and health goals to create tailor-made supplements that optimize health and address micronutrient imbalances.

Bioniq’s supplements are “Swiss-made, pharmaceutical-grade and utilize precise micro-dosing to address bio-individual needs and deficiencies”. Each formula features a unique blend of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, amino acids and prebiotics delivered in granules. The supplements are designed to mimic the way the body assimilates food, thus maximizing bioavailability.
“Bioniq’s innovative approach to nutrition is based on the idea that everyone has different nutritional needs and deficiencies, and that generic multivitamins are not enough to address them. We are impressed by Bioniq’s vision and technology, and we believe that they are disrupting the supplement industry with their personalized and science-based approach. We are excited to support them as they grow and scale their business,” explained Shravin Mittal, CEO of Unbound.

Rabbit Expands Hyperlocal Delivery Service In Saudi Arabia
The e-commerce startup is aiming to tap into the Kingdom’s underdeveloped e-grocery sector with a tech-first, locally rooted strategy.

Rabbit, an Egyptian-born hyperlocal e-commerce startup, is expanding into the Saudi Arabian market, setting its sights on delivering 20 million items across major cities by 2026.
The company, founded in 2021, is already operational in the Kingdom, with its regional headquarters now open in Riyadh and an established network of strategically located fulfillment centers — commonly known as “dark stores” — across the capital.
The timing is strategic: Saudi Arabia’s online grocery transactions currently sit at 1.3%, notably behind the UAE (5.3%) and the United States (4.8%). With the Kingdom’s food and grocery market estimated at $60 billion, even a modest increase in online adoption could create a multi-billion-dollar opportunity.
Rabbit also sees a clear alignment between its business goals and Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which aims to boost retail sector innovation, support small and medium-sized enterprises, attract foreign investment, and develop a robust digital economy.
The company’s e-commerce model is based on speed and efficiency. Delivery of anything from groceries and snacks to cosmetics and household staples is promised in 20 minutes or less, facilitated by a tightly optimized logistics system — a crucial component in a sector where profit margins and delivery expectations are razor-thin.
Despite the challenges, Rabbit has already found its stride in Egypt. In just over three years, the app has been used by 1.4 million customers to deliver more than 40 million items. Revenue has surged, growing more than eightfold in the past two years alone.

CEO and Co-Founder Ahmad Yousry commented: “We are delighted to announce Rabbit’s expansion into the Kingdom. We pride ourselves on being a hyperlocal company, bringing our bleeding-edge tech and experience to transform the grocery shopping experience for Saudi households, and delivering the best products – especially local favorites, in just 20 minutes”.
The company’s growth strategy avoids the pitfalls of over-reliance on aggressive discounting. Instead, Rabbit leans on operational efficiency, customer retention, and smart scaling. The approach is paying off, having already attracted major investment from the likes of Lorax Capital Partners, Global Ventures, Raed Ventures, and Beltone Venture Capital, alongside earlier investors such as Global Founders Capital, Goodwater Capital, and Hub71.
