For the past three years I have lived as a full-time hybrid athlete to build Hybrid Fuel the right way — from the training floor up. I have personally invested €360,000 into coaching, recovery, competitions, and product testing. I am not asking to be reimbursed. No part of this raise will cover past spend or personal costs. Funds raised will go entirely to validation, launch, and scale.
The Problem
There are too many supplement products and not enough clear, practical information. Labels and claims are confusing, most formulas are aimed at bodybuilders rather than the everyday exerciser, and product categories aren’t explained in plain language. As a result, people who work out regularly — from beginners to multi-discipline athletes — don’t know what to buy or how to use supplements to support real training needs.
Meanwhile, the market is booming: the European supplement market was worth USD 26.6 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow to USD 42.9 billion by 2035 with a yearly growth of 8%..

the founder
Founder Abraham Sengers lives as a full-time hybrid athlete.
I am not a businessman chasing supplement sales — I am an athlete building them for athletes. From the age of six until eighteen, competitive sport was my education. After years in business, I walked away three years ago to return full-time to what defines me: being an athlete. Since then, I have invested everything into training and competition to build Hybrid Fuel from the ground up.
Today, I compete monthly across MMA, BJJ, boxing, kickboxing, bodybuilding, and Ironman. I train three times a day, six days a week, and document the process with authentic content from real sessions. Speaking five languages allows me to connect directly with diverse audiences. My Instagram currently reaches ~200,000 people monthly, proving that disciplined, consistent storytelling resonates.
I will be both the brand’s lead athlete and its proof of concept — showing that Hybrid Fuel works in practice, not just on paper.
Market tailwinds
Europe’s dietary supplements market was valued at USD 26.6B in 2024 and is projected at USD 28.7B in 2025, with a ~8.45% CAGR through 2032. Western Europe specifically is estimated at USD 19B in 2025, reaching USD 42.9B by 2035 at ~8.7% CAGR. Other analysts place 2024–2032 growth for sports nutrition broadly at 7–8% CAGR. This represents a robust and expanding category for a differentiated entrant.
Go-to-Market & Marketing Strategy
We launch through two key channels:
DIRECT-TO-CONSUMER E-COMMERCE
to scale reach, subscriptions, and data.
Exclusive partnerships with gyms and sports clubs
to build local credibility.
We start with 60–90 day low-margin pilot programs to build trial, supported by staff training, on-floor education, seminar days, and controlled sampling. Each pilot location is measured against clear performance targets (KPIs — Key Performance Indicators) such as how many customers try, how many come back, and how much product sells each month. If a location performs, it earns local exclusivity and shifts to standard wholesale terms. This way we keep CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost — the cost of winning a new customer) low and show investors strong LTV (Lifetime Value — the total revenue from each customer over time) from the very beginning.
Differentiation & Market Position
Context
To put this in context: in 2025 I competed every month, with the standout highlights being winning a medal in bodybuilding and fighting MMA in the cage — two sports that demand opposite physical qualities. Both were necessary for me to fully understand the real needs of athletes across the spectrum. To close the year, I will compete in an Ironman 70.3, proving endurance at the highest level. Bodybuilding, cage fighting, and Ironman in the same year is almost unheard of for a single athlete. I do it not for personal glory, but to prove — to myself, to the audience, and to investors — that Hybrid Fuel is built and tested in the toughest, most diverse arenas of sport. Let’s finish this year strong — and build Hybrid Fuel together.
The sacrifice and the edge
Training and competing every month across MMA, BJJ, boxing, kickboxing, bodybuilding, and Ironman is far from normal. It is an extreme, deliberate commitment to understanding real-world athlete needs — recovery, performance under fatigue, weight-cut safety, and durability through repeated cycles. In 2025 alone, I completed around 300 five-minute ice baths to accelerate recovery and build resilience. This level of discipline is my personal equity in the company and forms the moat around the Hybrid Fuel brand. Sports medicine research confirms the physical challenges and risks of repeated high-intensity training and weight cuts, highlighting that every product we develop is rigorously tested in the most demanding, real-world conditions.
