Korean-based sleep health functional food startup NOCT Research has received strategic investment from Delightroom, the operator of the global morning wellness app Alarmy.

NOCT Research is a startup that addresses sleep problems through a nutritional approach. They develop personalized health functional foods tailored to individual lifestyles and health conditions, helping restore body rhythms for improved sleep quality by managing stress and balancing hormones.

Delightroom made this investment to enhance Alarmy’s core value of providing a “successful morning” for its users. They plan to integrate sleep problem solutions into Alarmy, offering personalized products based on the sleep quality improvement needs identified through Alarmy’s sleep analysis features.

Jae-myung Shin, CEO of Delightroom, said, “We decided to invest in NOCT Research because we believe their products, developed through extensive research, can create synergy with Alarmy’s goal of a ‘successful morning.’ The products that Delightroom and NOCT Research will introduce will be effective solutions for users facing sleep problems.”

Meanwhile, in April, Delightroom made a strategic investment in Soundable Health, a digital healthcare startup that measures users’ health status through sound analysis.
