HEX Performance® Closes $5 Million Funding Round Led by Lykos Capital Partners

BOULDER, Colo., March 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- HEX Performance®, the first and only cleaning solution designed to clean and protect activewear and synthetic-based materials, announced the closing of a $5 million funding round led by Lykos Capital Partners, a women-owned growth equity firm who partners with remarkable consumer product brands. The round of funding will strengthen the brand's leading position in the activewear laundry category, fuel the innovation pipeline, add talented team members and continue its mission to properly treat, wash, and protect modern clothing.

HEX Performance Founder Drew Westervelt, a former professional athlete, had a vision of changing how consumers clean their fabrics. Leveraging his own experiences and challenges with fabric care, Westervelt spearheaded the development work behind HEX Performance's patented technology. HEX Performance's breakthrough formula is the main proposition used across its product landscape. HEX Performance is disrupting the traditional laundry market with a technology-based formula that's specifically designed to clean and protect performance and synthetic-based fabrics. HEX Performance products are made specifically with activewear in mind, and will revive and safeguard high-tech clothing from odors, stain-reabsorption and other damage – like pilling, elasticity loss and reduced sweat-wickability.

"We value the confidence of our investors and, in particular, our lead partner Lykos. The funding enhances our resources to continue to get the word out and provide product availability to the marketplace," said Drew Westervelt, Founder and COO of HEX Performance.

"From the first time we met Drew and used his detergent on our own stinky workout gear, we suspected we had a winner," said Amy Wolf and Jeri Finard, Co-Founders of Lykos Capital Partners. "Since our original investment, HEX Performance has broadened the product assortment and added distribution in key retailers across the country. We are looking forward to the next chapter of growth!"

HEX Performance is available in over 2,000 stores nationwide, its website and Amazon. For more information on HEX Performance, please visit www.hexperformance.com.
