Sunrise accelerates U.S. expansion 

NAMUR, Belgium – Sunrise, a sleep disorder diagnostics company, has acquired Dreem Health, a California-based sleep clinic that offers diagnosis and treatment options, in a move that expands its presence in the U.S. Sunrise says millions of people across California, Iowa, Maryland, Washington and more can now access its sleep diagnostic and care devices through Dreem Health. “As we build out our U.S. presence, Sunrise is set to innovate the global sleep health market,” said Laurent Martinot, founder and CEO of Sunrise. “Since launching Sunrise in 2015, we've seen impressive growth driven by innovations in home sleep testing. However, the pace of change hasn't been fast enough, and there's still a major need for sleep health education. At Sunrise, we are committed to ensuring sleep disorders are properly recognized, diagnosed and treated.” Sunrise, which has received more than $35 million in capital from investors like Amazon’s Alexa Fund, Kurma Partners, VIVES Partners and others, has also appointed Laura Warnier as chief growth officer to build and manage the company’s sales and marketing teams. She previously scaled EdTech Unicorn GoStudent, an online tutoring platform, from 0 to $200 million and increased its employee count to 2,000 across Europe and America. “I’m joining Sunrise at such a pivotal moment, and I’m looking forward to advancing Sunrise’s mission of effectively diagnosing and treating sleep disorders on a global scale,” she said. “The sleep care industry has been historically overlooked, leaving a massive area for growth. With close to 1 billion people globally struggling with sleep apnea - 80% of which are undiagnosed - our team is committed to becoming the category leader in sleep disorder diagnosis and treatment.”
