Betterguards Technology

Betterguards Technology is a German-engineered sports-tech company that builds adaptive ankle braces using a patented micro-hydraulic piston. Unlike rigid braces or taping, the BetterGuard moves freely with the athlete and stiffens only at the instant of a dangerous ankle roll, reacting several times faster than the human body. Founded in Berlin/Hennigsdorf and now with a New York operation, the company sells direct-to-consumer and has been adopted by athletes across the NBA, NFL, MLS, MLB, NCAA and Olympic programs after joining the 2022 NBA Launchpad cohort.
