Enduraphin, the performance nutrition company behind the patented PHINTECH™ Ready-To-Mix bottle, has completed its Seed financing round, supporting expansion across collegiate and professional sports, tactical and military performance, and everyday active consumers.
The round attracted a strategic group of investors from across sports and business, underscoring growing confidence in Enduraphin’s vision and setting the stage for accelerated growth and future capital initiatives. This milestone advances the company’s strategy to build a category-defining platform at the intersection of convenience, verified safety, and elite-level fueling, as it scales distribution and new product development.
Developed alongside top sports dietitians, strength coaches, and food and beverage innovators, Enduraphin simplifies recovery with clean, high-quality whey protein in a portable delivery system designed for modern performance environments. Athletes simply add liquid, shake, drink, and recycle!
“At every level of sport, simplicity wins. Athletes want clean, certified fuel that fits the way they live and train,” said Mike Dalberth, Co-Founder. “Enduraphin delivers premium protein with trusted third-party testing and a format that works anywhere — from locker rooms to travel days to early-morning routines. No scoops. No clutter. Just effective fueling, ready when you are.”
Trusted by Pros, Built for High Performers and Daily Routine
Enduraphin products are used by more than 150 NCAA and professional programs, fueling athletes across hockey, baseball, football, basketball, soccer, lacrosse, and more. The company has seen rapid adoption in weight rooms, fueling stations, and athletic travel environments with teams consistently adding Enduraphin to their everyday routine.
The same standard now extends to tactical operators, first responders, and everyday consumers seeking clean, ready-to-mix fuel. As athletes adopt Enduraphin in competition and daily routines, consumer demand has followed — with growth driven by parents, weekend athletes, and performance-minded buyers.
Each Enduraphin formula is backed by NSF Certified for Sport® and Informed Sport testing, offering 3rd-party certified protein that is free from banned substances, trusted by professional athletes, and compliant with NCAA, NFL, Olympics, MLB, and military performance nutrition standards.
“Today’s athletes and consumers are more informed than ever — they expect clean fuel, transparent testing, and proven performance,” said Danny Drake, Co-Founder. “One thing that really separates us from the busy protein space is we are the only company delivering the same certified recovery formula in both on-the-go bottles and bulk powder — so athletes can fuel consistently whether they’re on the road or in the weight room.”
Strategic Backing From Leaders in Sport and Business
Enduraphin’s Seed round is supported by a strategic group of elite athletes, coaches, and business leaders who understand the demands of peak performance and scalable growth, including:
- Latavius Murray — 11-year NFL Veteran, Pro Bowler
- Patrick Corbin — 14-year MLB Veteran, World Series Champion
- Jim Boeheim — Hall of Fame NCAA Basketball Coach
- Michael Rubin — Founder & CEO, Fanatics
- Chip Paucek — Co-Founder & CEO of Pro Athlete Community, former CEO of 2U
- Andre Chambers — Chief People Officer, Professional Sports Team
“I backed Enduraphin early because the mission and discipline behind it were clear from day one. The team has stayed focused, grown the right way, and built something athletes genuinely trust and enjoy using,” said Latavius Murray. “Now, seeing teammates, friends, and coaches across the league choose Enduraphin and feel the difference says everything. This isn’t just another protein — it’s redefining how athletes fuel, and the momentum ahead is going to change the category.”
These strategic backers, who have operated at the highest levels of competition and leadership, fuel the next stage of Enduraphin’s growth. The investment will support expansion of manufacturing capacity for patented PHINTECH™ bottles and bulk products, scale distribution across current channels, accelerate media initiatives, grow the company’s Orlando innovation team, and bring new patented fueling solutions to market in 2026 — positioning Enduraphin for long-term category growth.
“Our goal is to bring safe, convenient performance fueling to every athlete — from youth to pros to military operators,” said Danny Drake, Co-Founder. “This capital enables us to scale manufacturing, increase market availability, and expand our platform to meet the growing demand for clean, certified performance nutrition.”
