CEO at ŌURA, makers of the Oura Ring

Oura has hit a major milestone today; we’ve announced a strategic partnership with Dexcom, a global leader in glucose biosensing, and a $75 million investment from them, kicking off our Series D funding round that will value Oura at $5 billion. Our work together will accelerate our metabolic health offering and give us even deeper and more personalized insights to share with our members about their habits and behavior and how it impacts health. In mid-FY25, we’ll begin to co-market and cross-sell each other products, and more importantly, we’ll also integrate the two products (Oura Ring and Dexcom Stelo) so that data can flow between them to help people decide what and when to eat by surfacing correlations between activities like sleep and exercise and members’ glucose levels. Our metabolic health plans are ambitious, and we’re moving full steam ahead. We recently announced our acquisition of Veri, which has opened up our ability to integrate with Dexcom on a combined product experience. Together, we’ll create an integrated product offering that is holistic, intelligent, and rooted in building a healthy relationship with food. Our goals are big and ambitious, but we know they’re possible, especially when we join forces with leading-edge companies like Dexcom. We know that Oura has the potential to change lives at scale, and we’re passionate about our vision to make it a reality. #WithOura

Im on my 4th ring since launch years ago and keep in mind for every new function, you are adding battery load. I have to charge my newest one 3x more frequently than my first 3. I don’t even know if I want to invest in a new one or even recommend it as I have frequently done in the past.

Freakin' amazing, I love watching the journey here and evolution of the product and value. Huge congrats. I feel a bit giddy whenever I see somebody wearing an Oura ring (which is often), and think "that's my boy Tom!" (and his wonderful team, of course).

Tom, I bought my daughter a 4 Oura ring for her 29th birthday. I own the 3 Oura and love it! I also bought one for my business partner for her birthday. I am a big fan of your product! We used my sizing ring set for my daughter's order and when the ring came in, it was too big. I emailed Oura and got nowhere, so we ordered the size 8 - makes sense right? or it did to us. The ring came in and it is way too small. I am confused as to why there is such a big difference in sizing between the 3 and 4 rings. Anyway, we need to exchange it and am told there is only one exchange allowed. The ring is useless to either of us because it is too small. I ordered the gold and as you know the cost is well over $500. Please help to direct me to someone that can work with us to rectify this. Thank you so much! Dorothy

Congrats! As A Mental Health Provider I Practice What I Preach! I have been wearing an Oura Ring Since September and have used The Biometric Data to Inform My Nutritional Choices, Excercise Program,and Proper Sleep Hygiene. It is exciting To see Oura continue to grow! The Metaphor is That Therapy can provide Clients with Valuable Personalized Insights to Inform Their Behaviors To Help Them Reach Their Goals and Oura can provide Personalized Biometric Insights To inform Behaviors. Both Support Wellness Practices and Better Mental and Physical Health! Brandi Bell, LCSW-R Headway Provider #Mental Health#Therapy

This is a game-changing partnership. I think integrating metabolic health insights with Oura’s existing platform could redefine how we approach personal health.

Well done! Now we really need to catch up! Cheers!

Ambitious plans, and execution as you are doing, are what make a great company. We are looking forward to being able to integrate with ŌURA with The Pause Technologies Inc. by the end of the year.
