Hyperice is an American health technology company founded in 2010. It designs and manufactures recovery and movement enhancement products.[1][2][3]

History

[edit]

Hyperice was founded in Southern California in 2010 and its first product was an ice-compression wrap to help with sports-related injuries.[4] Kobe Bryant, the American professional basketball player, became the first recipient of the Hyperice Knee ice and compression wrap.[5]

In 2014, Hyperice launched a campaign through Kickstarter[6] and a year later it launched the Vyper 1 into mass production.[7][8] Blake Griffin and Lindsey Vonn became ambassadors of Hypersphere for pre and post-training sessions.[9]

In 2016, the company started production of Venom, a heat and vibration wearable back device for muscle warm-up and recovery.[10][11] Later in 2017, it launched Venom Leg and Venom Shoulder products.[12][13]

In 2020, Hyperice acquired Normatec.[14] During 2020, the company introduced some other products.[15][16][17] Also in 2020, Hyperice signed a deal with the NBA for a season ahead of the brand's original timeline because of the advantages afforded to the brand by the 'NBA Bubble'.[18][19]

Through the partnership with the PGA TOUR, Hyperice changed the on-course rules to allow players access to percussion massage during competitive play.[20][21][22][23] At the same time, Hyperice raised $48 million in a new round of investments and had a valuation of $700 million.[24] In 2021, the company approved the purchase of Recoverx, a San Diego-based technology company specializing in intelligent contrast technologies,[25] as well as Core, a mental wellness company.[26]

The company's investors and sponsored athletes are NFL quarterback Patrick Mahomes,[27] Norwegian footballer Erling Haaland,[28] and India's cricket captain Virat Kohli.[29]
