We are honoured to share that Hypnus has been selected as one of the Top 100 global startups in the Alibaba Entrepreneurs Fund's JUMPSTARTER competition (https://www.jumpstarter.hk/). The recognition is meaningful not because of the ranking itself, but because it affirms the substance behind the work we do: building a science-backed, decentralized sleep wellness ecosystem for a world that desperately needs better rest.
Sleep affects every dimension of life, yet almost half of the world's adults struggle with it. The economic burden is measured in the hundreds of billions. The human cost is larger still. While the world has found ways to track our waking behaviour—steps, calories, productivity—the night remains underserved, fragmented, and poorly understood.
Hypnus approaches this gap differently. Guided by Nobel-level neuroscience, we are building a system where sleep becomes a validated, user-owned resource. Our EEG technology, wearable SDKs, and AI diagnostics convert nightly biometric signals into Sleep Data NFTs that users control fully. It is a model that prioritizes transparency, privacy, and long-term scientific value.
JUMPSTARTER evaluates startups on clear foundations: innovation, scalability, team capability, impact, and their connection to Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area. Our alignment with these principles comes from the mission itself, not the competition. We have built Hypnus on clinical rigor, a defensible technical stack spanning AI and neuroscience, partnerships with hospitals across China, and a belief that data should return value to the individuals who create it.
The timing is right. Mainland China's policies emphasize brain–computer interfaces and health-tech integration. Hong Kong's stablecoin regulatory framework enables compliant data monetization and user-owned value flows. The infrastructure is emerging for a new type of health ecosystem—one where data, science, and economic incentives reinforce each other.
Being named to the Top 100 is only the beginning. The Top 30 announcement lies ahead, and many remarkable teams are on this path. Our goal is not to compete for visibility but to earn trust through execution. What drives us is simple: helping people sleep better, and ensuring that the value created from their data returns to them.
We continue our work with gratitude, focus, and quiet confidence.
