“The PTO is excited to welcome Eckuity as a shareholder alongside Sir Michael Moritz. We look forward to continuing to grow the sport of triathlon alongside them with their full support and expertise.” The Professional Triathletes Organization (PTO) just announced their newest shareholder: Eckuity, a global investment firm that invests in the early states of life sciences and innovative health technology companies.
With this new investment, Eckuity hopes to reach a new audience and inspire them to embrace the use of health technology products.

We are fully aligned behind PTO’s mission and believe the management team will consistently deliver world-class events bringing this sport the coverage it so rightly deserves, thus providing a high profile platform for influencing our culture to better mental and physical health.”
