3D body-scanning platform Bodd has raised $15 million to help drive its global expansion. The funding round was led by U.S. strategic investor Blue Sky Capital, with additional support from Ellerston Capital.
Several existing investors also took part, including chairman Tim Allison, director Peter Leonard, Swans director John Gerahty and his family office Liangrove Group, commodities trader Ken Loughnan, and fashion retailers Nick and Candice Hirons.
The company originally aimed to raise $10 million, but strong investor interest pushed the round up by 50%, bringing Bodd’s valuation to $110 million.
The new funding will support expansion into the U.S., U.K., and the Middle East, including opening a U.S. office. Bodd also plans to grow its team to 40 employees up from 15 when it last raised $5 million in early 2023.
Bodd works with major customers such as United Airlines and Brooks Brothers in North America, Portwest in Dublin, and Australian Defence Apparel, the New Zealand Defence Force, and Stewart & Heaton.
The company started in 2016, founded by Rob Fisher and David McLaughlin as a clothing technology startup. Its 3D body-scanning system creates a body “passport” in just 60 seconds, giving organisations the measurements they need for uniforms or equipment much faster.
Bodd is now expanding into healthtech. Beginning in 2026, it plans to deploy its scanners in Australian pharmacies to capture detailed body data and help support the rising demand for GLP-1 weight-loss treatments.
Fisher, Bodd’s CEO, said the investor demand backed their thesis that the body data industry needs innovation, with a focus on defence, aviation and healthcare.
“It validates the hard work the Bodd team continues to invest in our products and customers. With AI rapidly reshaping how organisations make decisions, the need for high quality data has only become increasingly important,” he said.
“Bodd’s high-fidelity data bridges this gap and enables AI models to be trained and applied with far greater precision for real-world use cases.”
