M&A Market: Vienna AI Startup Acquires Texas Sports Nutrition Platform

Zusammenfassung des Signals

Vienna-based AI startup Wictory is acquiring The Sports Nutrition Playbook, a Texas service platform founded by dietitian Amy Goodson. The deal gives Wictory access to over 30 sports dietitians and an insurance-billable business model, accelerating its U.S. market entry, particularly into youth sports. The transaction is framed as a merger but operationally Wictory leads, with all existing shareholders staying on board. Wictory will change its domain from Wictory.ai to Wictory.com. Amy Goodson becomes chief nutrition officer. The acquisition is financed through a follow-on round from existing investors, including ski world champion Michael Walchhofer. Wictory, founded in 2024, is a digital coaching platform using agentic AI to process wearable and nutrition data, with dietitians providing clinical judgment. The company recently joined AI:AT Factory and Plug and Play Sportstech accelerator to support U.S. expansion.
