Since 2020, we have proudly invested alongside Näak’s visionary founders, William Walcker and Minh Anh Pham. Starting in 2016 with a bold idea—crafting high-performance energy bars with eco-friendly ingredients like cricket powder—Näak has grown into a trail running nutrition leader. Their ambition is to expand globally, offering nutrition for all outdoor endurance sports.

As the nutrition partner for the UTMB World Series, Näak is investing heavily in international brand expansion. Certified B Corp since 2021, sustainability is integral to their mission, from eco-friendly ingredients to bicycle delivery options.

High-level athletes themselves, William and Minh Anh have made performance one of the company’s core values. They have united a community of international athletes, loyal supporters who contribute to product development and formulation to best meet runners' needs.

Today, Näak employs about 30 people across Canada, the U.S., and France, with distribution in 35+ countries, including Australia, South Africa, and Hong Kong.
