Our flagship product, Ketone-IQ, allows everyone to fuel with ketones: a metabolic superfuel - no fasting or keto diet required. A growing body of research shows that ketones can deliver significant benefits for everyone - from elite athletes and office workers to those who want to manage chronic disease or simply live a healthier life.
Ketone-IQ was developed through our $6 million research contract with the US Department of Defense and in close partnerships with world-class researchers and leading universities. Ketone-IQ is trusted by high performers of all kinds, including Olympic athletes, Tour de France cyclists, Navy SEALs, and athletes in every major sports league in the US - and now, we're bringing it to everyone.
We're changing the way people fuel and rapidly expanding as we lead the ketone movement. We're looking for a skilled and dynamic People Operations Manager to help build the team that's leading this movement. An HR generalist who is passionate about People Ops and thrives on tackling new experience sets and solving problems across a fast-growing startup. Someone who loves finding efficiencies and setting up processes to scale and is obsessed with thinking about how we attract and retain top talent.
