Myzone, a global manufacturer of wearable fitness tracking technology, has secured a USD17.2 million investment from BGF, the UK’s most active growth capital investor, alongside tech entrepreneur Vin Murria OBE, who also joins as Non-Executive Chair.
Created in 2011 by fitness industry expert Dave Wright, Myzone has experienced impressive growth since inception and currently serves over 9,000 facilities in 84 different countries, boasting over two million shipped devices.

The deal was led by Seb Saywood, Aaron Baker and Dave Bellis, from BGF.
