Our take
The weight-loss market has seen a number of game-changing innovations for fat-burn strategies and measuring calorie intake, but there has been little improvement made to the way we measure progress - a critical component in maintaining the drive to continue exercise and healthy eating habits. Invoy supplies a breath analyzer for measuring fat burn on a day-to-day basis, that gives more immediate, true results for progress than the classic and often demotivating weighing scales.
Weighing scales have never been a good way to track weight-loss efforts, as factors such as water and muscle gain can make results unclear, and it can take more than a week to make sense of any weight changes. To combat this, Invoy combines its breath analysis device with a coaching platform that makes clear the correlation between habits and results, encouraging users to move forward with the weight-loss methods that work best for them. The analyzer is easy and quick to use, meaning it does not encumber daily routines, and provides users with a scientific understanding of their fat metabolism.
The team at the company, which is stacked with scientific credentials, has continuously iterated the product, keeping it at the height of healthcare standards and usability. It also maintains a service of "compassionate" analysts that help connect the dots between users’ data and actions. Moving forward, it can be expected Invoy will look to scale its operations - there is certainly room for it to expand, as the weight-loss market is valued at over $3 billion and growing

Company values
- Lifelong Learner - To disrupt an industry that impacts hundreds of millions of lives, we must value knowledge and education and be willing to learn as we execute.
- Data-driven - Weight loss has been plagued by loosely formed hypotheses with little underlying proof. We run experiments, analyze data, look for trends and connect the dots.
- Compassionate - Health is deeply personal. To truly make a difference, we must be trustworthy and provide an experience that is valuable and meaningful.
- Bold - We seek to make a major, lasting impact on health. We must try new ideas and be bold. Bold is not the same as arrogant.
- Resilient - Entrepreneurs are resourceful, self-sufficient, and inventive. They thrive with constraints — and are always mindful of finding the most efficient way to accomplish their goal.
- Accountable - We do as we say, and we say as we do. Our members expect a seamless, high-quality experience. We embrace rigor, always deliver on each commitment, and show up with disciple and consistency.
