Case Studies

Here are case studies of a few examples of our startups and turnarounds

  • Myxfitness: Built the "Better-for-You Peloton at Half the Price"

    Spotting a gap in the connected fitness market, we created Myxfitness as an affordable, inclusive alternative to the luxury-priced, competition-driven options available. Designed for everyday use, our fitness bike promotes health without the pressure of leaderboards, focusing on personal biometric engagement for a healthier lifestyle. This strategic move rapidly propelled Myxfitness to $32 million in revenue the first year. This momentum led to Myxfitness successfully exiting to BeachBody—a testament to the impact of addressing underserved needs in the market.

  • Myx Drinks: Redefining Beverage Consumption for Health, Planet, and Wallet

    The traditional bottled and canned beverage industry, with its reliance on filtered municipal water, chemical flavors, and an inefficient, gasoline-driven supply chain, represents a significant problem for both human and planetary health, not to mention consumer expenses. Recognizing this, Myx Drinks embarked on a challenging journey, dedicating 3.5 years to R&D before launching a groundbreaking beverage vending machine. This machine allows users to create over 50,000 natural flavor combinations for less than $0.50 each, using their own bottles or cups to eliminate waste.

  • Goode Health: Personalized Nutrition Redefined

    Within our venture studio, Goode Health emerged as a game-changer in the superfood supplement market. This direct-to-consumer powdered mix is tailored to each individual through 20 HIPAA-compliant questions, offering a more personalized nutrition solution. Unlike competitors like Athletic Greens, Goode Health boasts 17x more protein, 7x more antioxidants, superior taste, and hunger suppression benefits at half the price. Initial pilot clinical trials have shown remarkable results, with 100% of at-risk consumers experiencing significant improvements in cardiovascular and metabolic health within just 8 weeks. Goode Health has conducted several studies, including a recent clinical study at University of Texas, which show significant improvements in heart health, cholesterol reduction, and more after participants used the product daily for just 2 weeks!

  • Camio's Strategic Transformation with Palm Venture Studios

    Facing a high burn rate and imminent financial runway depletion, Camio, a leader in AI-driven video security, partnered with Palm Venture Studios for a comprehensive strategic overhaul. Our interventions—ranging from operational efficiencies and market repositioning to enhanced SEO and pricing strategy refinements—dramatically reduced expenses and opened new revenue streams. These efforts led to improved customer metrics, a strengthened market presence, and a successful $9.5M Series B funding round, highlighting the power of our beyond-capital partnership approach.

    Palm Ventures Studios’ support has been instrumental in Attune's journey to revolutionize beauty and wellness.

  • Advancing Real-time Video Security

    We worked years to win top customers across 14 countries only to run into a cash flow crunch that was near death. My Brazilian friend said "Nadar, nadar e morrer na praia” a famous parable of “swim, swim, and die on the beach.”  After swimming across oceans, I’m grateful for the Palm Ventures team who gave us the chance to survive and thrive.

  • Creating an Insurance Market for The Gig Economy

    In our short time as a Palm Venture Studios partner company, we have already found their team to be valuable beyond even our own (high) expectations. Through their introductions and ongoing support, we have closed a significant commercial agreement and will be hiring two key senior executives. We expect this momentum to continue as Palm's investment, time and effort fuels Ago's vision to create a more data-driven, equitable insurance market for gig economy workers.
