2022 NBA Launchpad Portfolio Companies

BETTERGUARDS Technology – official NBA Launchpad Portfolio company 2022 in the category:
Innovation in the prevention and rehabilitation of ankle injuries

THE NBA LAUNCHPAD PROGRAM

Product story:

Sprains: pain, downtime, a long rehab journey back onto the pitch and then still more secondary injuries. Whether it’s with ourselves, friends or sports idols – we’ve all experienced it in different ways. Too often.

Such injuries prevented our founder and visionary Vinzenz from pursuing a professional sports career. Commercially available bandages either offered him too little protection or restricted him and limited his body, his head and his performance. Reason enough to bring BETTERGUARDS to life and to create a completely new type of injury prevention together with pioneers from science and technology: The BetterGuard – The safety belt for your ankles.

As part of the NBA Launchpad – the NBA’s start-up accelerator – the first proprietary ankle bandage was developed in 2022. It has been successfully tested with international research institutions, such as the Charité in Berlin, as well as other institutes and athletes worldwide.

Our goal is to help athletes achieve their best performance. Unhindered by injuries or resulting mental barriers. BETTERGUARDS wants to finally banish ankle injuries from the history books of sport.

BETTERGUARDS has the potential to have a significant positive impact on the protection and performance of athletes. I already started to play with the BG SYSTEM during my career as an active professional player and am convinced that the latest development – The BetterGuard – will provide the sports community with a new kind of protective experience without limitations.

High comfort, very good freedom of motion and adaptive protection – BETTERGUARDS impresses as an innovative solution for injury prevention. Whereas conventional products such as soft supports and orthoses previously forced you to choose between freedom of motion or protection, BETTERGUARDS offers a high-tech product for sports that effectively combines both.

My NBA career ended early due to ankle injuries that occurred over and over again. They are inevitable in our game. With The BetterGuard available, I am happy to represent a product that will help to prevent others to go through the same experiences I had. The fact that the product offers such great comfort makes it the perfect fit for use in professional sports. Because as an athlete, you want a product that won’t restrict you in your performance.
