“With this partnership, Somnox becomes part of the Zovio range and brings it closer to the people who need it most, in a way that is affordable, sustainable and effective,” says Julian Martijn Jagtenberg, founder and CEO of Somnox, through a LinkedIn post.
The announcement comes seven months after achieving profitability after years of financial losses.
“With this partnership, Somnox becomes part of the Zovio range and brings it closer to the people who need it most, in a way that is affordable, sustainable and effective,” he adds.
Somnox: Helping people sleep better
Founded by Joep Jagtenberg, Somnox is on a mission to help 100M worldwide achieve better sleep by 2030.
The company’s patented technology provides users with a science-backed sleep companion to relieve stress and anxiety, resulting in deeper, more restful sleep.
The device simulates calm breathing, allowing poor sleepers to fall asleep naturally using sensors.
Zovio: Making procurement easy
Based out of Gelderland, Zovio helps healthcare organisations buy their medical and facility supplies more efficiently, reliably, and sustainably.
Instead of using middlemen, they connect buyers directly to manufacturers through a modern webshop and personal support.
At present, the Dutch company carries over 18,000 products, offers transparent pricing with no hidden markups, and integrates seamlessly with clients’ procurement systems.
