Three Investments Today Reimagining Nutrition, Wellness, and Business Operations
Innovation doesn't always come from creating something entirely new.
Sometimes it comes from rethinking systems that millions of people already interact with every day.
How we eat. How we care for our health. How businesses operate behind the scenes.
This week, we're excited to welcome three new companies to the LvlUp Ventures portfolio that are tackling these challenges from completely different angles. While they operate in different industries, all three founders share a common belief: existing systems are unnecessarily inefficient, and technology can create dramatically better outcomes.
Rebuilding Breakfast Around Real Nutrition
The modern breakfast aisle is full of convenience.
It's much harder to find nutrition.
Many of today's most popular breakfast products are built around refined carbohydrates, sugar, and heavily processed ingredients. Consumers are often forced to choose between convenience and genuinely nutritious food.
Full of Beans is changing that.
The company has developed a breakfast platform built around fava beans, transforming a traditionally inconvenient but highly nutritious ingredient into a convenient, protein-rich product designed for modern consumers.
What impressed us most wasn't just the product—it was the traction.
Without paid marketing or outside capital, Full of Beans has already sold 3,300+ units, generated more than $30,000 in revenue, expanded into 20 retail locations, and sold out inventory twice due to customer demand. The company has also secured additional inventory and continues expanding its retail footprint.
As consumers increasingly seek healthier alternatives without sacrificing convenience, we believe Full of Beans is positioned to create an entirely new category within functional breakfast foods.
Building Beauty and Wellness From the Inside Out
The wellness industry continues to grow, but many products remain focused on surface-level outcomes.
Light Bodies is approaching the category differently.
The company is building a premium wellness brand centered around collagen nutrition, longevity, and regenerative health, combining marine-based ingredients with a consumer experience designed around ritual, sustainability, and holistic wellbeing.
What stood out was the company's ability to validate demand quickly.
In just 90 days, Light Bodies grew customer receipts from approximately $2,700 to $12,200 per month, driven primarily through community-led growth and founder-driven customer acquisition.
Beyond early traction, the company is also supported by operators with deep experience across wellness, beauty, retail, and consumer brands, bringing expertise from businesses that have scaled into hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.
As consumers increasingly prioritize preventative health, longevity, and premium wellness experiences, we see significant opportunities for brands that combine science, authenticity, and community.
Creating the Intelligent Operating System for Business Execution
While AI has transformed how businesses analyze information, most companies still struggle to turn insights into action.
Reports get generated.
Dashboards get reviewed.
But execution often remains manual.
Ngentix is building what it calls the first "Intelligent System of Action"—a platform designed to connect business systems, automate operational workflows, and help organizations act on information in real time.
The results are already compelling.
The company has secured 11 design partners, demonstrated ROI in under five minutes, delivered 94% cost reductions in certain customer workflows, reclaimed 156 hours annually for operators, and reduced invoice processing time by 75% in production environments.
The broader vision extends well beyond a single workflow.
Ngentix is building infrastructure designed to become embedded in how organizations operate, creating intelligence layers that continuously improve as businesses execute more work through the platform.
In an era where companies are searching for practical AI adoption rather than experimentation, solutions that directly improve operational efficiency represent a massive opportunity.
What Connects These Companies
At first glance, breakfast foods, wellness products, and enterprise automation appear unrelated.
But each company is addressing the same underlying problem:
Legacy systems no longer match modern expectations.
Consumers want healthier food without complexity.
People want wellness products rooted in science and authenticity.
Businesses want intelligence that drives action rather than generating more reports.
These founders are rebuilding the infrastructure behind those experiences.
That's exactly the type of opportunity we look for at LvlUp Ventures.
We're proud to back Full of Beans, Light Bodies, and Ngentix as they continue building, scaling, and creating the next generation of category-defining companies.
The future belongs to founders willing to challenge assumptions and rebuild the systems everyone else accepts.
And we're excited to be part of that journey. 🚀
