Co-founder & CEO, Prenetics

Danny Yeung, co-founder and CEO of IM8 and parent company Prenetics, discussed the company's recent growth and strategic pivot in podcast appearances in September 2026. He stated that Prenetics listed on NASDAQ in 2022 at a valuation above $1 billion, which fell to $50 million within 18 months, prompting a shift toward the supplement market. He said the company launched IM8 in December 2024, co-founded with David Beckham, and reported reaching a $100 million annual revenue run rate in 11 months and a $200 million run rate in 18 months. Yeung also mentioned that Prenetics' market capitalization exceeded $400 million within 24 months of the pivot. Yeung described a non-dilutive financing commitment of $1 billion from General Catalyst, noting he initially declined their outreach because the company held over $100 million in cash with no debt. He attributed IM8's growth to recurring subscriptions, which he cited as evidence that the product works as advertised, and said he plans to continue investing in offline events despite rising marketing costs. He also discussed his background, including dropping out of high school and working as a telemarketer, and characterized successful entrepreneurship as balancing delusional optimism with hyper-realism.
