Company mission
To prove that good design has a bigger impact on oral health than quick fix gimmicks.
-19% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Consumer product companies have long dominated this space with little competition or pricing pressure. However, technological innovation and an increased awareness of the importance of dental hygiene calls for innovation in the dental care industry.
quip is doing just this by producing innovative dental care products that are sold direct-to-customer as an automatic subscription service. While companies such as Shyn, Goby and Buck Brush Co. present competition in the electronic toothbrush industry, Quip’s recent partnership with Target demonstrates they could be ahead in the race.
The company has raised funding of over $160M to date, following its 2021 series B funding, which was invested into expanding its global footprint whilst scaling its personal care platform. It also acquired several smaller companies such as Toothpic and released its own electric toothbrush, described as "industry-disrupting" due to its three-month battery life in 2022.
