Naboso Closes $3 Million Investment Round

For Immediate Release / Phoenix, AZ 

Naboso Technology Inc (Naboso), a pioneer in neuro-sensory based foot health products announces it has closed a $3 million funding round and strategic partnership with Protea Japan Co. Ltd (Protea Japan), a Tokyo-based active lifestyle and skincare distribution company with over 30 years’ experience.

This funding and strategic partnership comes as Naboso has gained considerable traction in both the North American and Asian markets.   Founded in early 2017 by functional podiatrist Dr Emily Splichal, Naboso is changing the future of foot health and movement longevity with its patented sensory-based products.

Naboso’s products provide benefits in the health, wellness and performance industries with users ranging from professional athletes to those living with chronic neurological conditions including Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease.

Outside of the North American market, Naboso has seen most of its growth in the Asia- Pacific region, making the strategic partnership with Protea Japan timely.  With its strong market-share and aligned vision for growth, Protea Japan will play a strong role in Naboso’s global growth strategy.

“We are thrilled to have the support of such esteemed partners who share our vision.  I have so much respect for the leaders at Protea Japan and have had such a positive experience working with them over the last three years,” CEO Dr Emily Splichal states.  “As a founder it is important to me to find partners who truly understand our product vision and company mission.”

Naboso first entered the Asian market in May 2021, with a small selection of mats and insoles. The available product range has since expanded to more than two dozen products to meet growing interest in Japan from a wide base of increasingly health-conscious customers.

Protea Japan President and CEO Mark Minter says “We are incredibly confident in the expertise of the Naboso team. Their exceptional track record and the growth we’ve seen in the local market inspired us to build even further on our partnership, and we are excited about the potential to accelerate the global growth of the brand. Together, we are poised to achieve new milestones and further solidify Naboso’s presence in this vital market.”

With this investment Naboso will scale its team and accelerate the delivery of its product roadmap and innovation.
