Optimize Performance ThroughReal-Time Nutrition
Non-invasive wearable technology that monitors sweat onset, heat strain, and metabolic stress to deliver real-time fueling and hydration guidance.
About Bonk
We're revolutionizing athletic performance through real-time physiological monitoring
What We Do
Bonk is a wearable fitness device that non-invasively monitors sweat onset, heat strain, metabolic stress, and other nutritional statistics to deliver real-time fueling and hydration guidance. Our system combines a tangible product backed with machine learning to model how an individual's body responds to workload and environmental stress, helping optimize athletic performance and health throughout the day.
Our Expertise
We are all D1 athletes on the Men's Lightweight Rowing Team at the University of Pennsylvania, where performance is inseparable from nutrition, fueling timing, and hydration strategy. Our sport requires competing at high intensity while maintaining strict weight limits, making precise energy management and electrolyte balance critical on a daily basis. Through training and racing, we have direct experience with how small fueling mistakes lead to immediate performance loss, giving us a uniquely informed perspective on building technology that optimizes nutrition in real time.
