Allergy Amulet, which is developing a consumer food allergen sensor, has completed its seed funding, raising a total of $4.1 million, the company announced today.
According to a release, the seed funding includes investments from AllerFund and Lightship Capital. Allergy Amulet raised its initial funding in 2020.
“Over the last year, it’s become increasingly clear that we need to get Allergy Amulet into the hands of as many people as possible, as quickly as possible,” Allergy Amulet CEO Abigail Barnes said in a statement. “We’re ready to make the future better and ensure that every person with a food allergy can safely saver life’s important moments.”
The funds will be used to accelerate manufacturing, expand product offerings to cover more allergens, grow the company’s world-class team and educate consumers about the benefits of additional food allergen management tools.
