About Pendulum:
Pendulum is pioneering a global movement to enhance physical and mental well-being by understanding, restoring, and optimizing the human microbiome.
Research has shown that our microbiome, comprising bacterial communities in and on our bodies, plays a vital role in various aspects of health, including metabolism, diabetes prevention, longevity, weight management, immune system function, cancer prevention, emotional well-being, inflammatory bowel disease, and healthy skin. We have only begun to scratch the surface of understanding the impact of our microbiome on our lives. During early development, we establish a diverse and balanced microbiome that significantly influences our long-term health. Throughout our lives, factors such as diet, lifestyle, antibiotics, and aging can impair the effectiveness of our microbiome.
Pendulum recognized the immense potential for positively impacting people's lives by addressing microbiome imbalances. To achieve this, Pendulum developed proprietary probiotic pipelines and a unique discovery platform to identify novel bacterial strains and prebiotics that feed them. The company also created the world's first manufacturing technology to produce bacteria in an oxygen-free environment at scale.
The medical-grade probiotics formulated by Pendulum have transformed the consumer probiotics market into a new category of therapeutic offerings that combine the efficacy of pharmaceuticals with the safety and accessibility of natural probiotics. Due to Pendulum's rapid revenue growth and customer expansion over the past two years, the company was included in Forbes Magazine's prestigious 'The Next Billion Dollar Startups' list.
