Leuven-based AI running analysis startup Runeasi secures €1M to fuel global expansion

The company helps physiotherapists, coaches, and specialised running stores perform running and jumping analyses quickly and easily, without relying on expensive or complex equipment. Runeasi uses an AI-powered motion sensor worn in a sports belt to collect biomechanical data, which is then turned into personalised reports with clear, actionable insights for rehabilitation, training, and exercise planning.

Runeasi’s core focus is turning scientific research into practical tools that support health and human performance. Its platform allows professionals to convert detailed movement data into customised training and recovery programmes.

Today, Runeasi is used in more than 40 countries by sports physiotherapy clinics and running experts. The platform has already been used for over 50,000 running analyses, with the United States being its largest market. The company also partners with sports footwear brands, helping them test products more efficiently and support scientific validation through objective data.

CEO Kurt Schütte said the new funding will support Runeasi’s next stage of growth, with a strong focus on expanding internationally—especially in the US—while continuing to serve the Belgian market, where the company has built long-standing customer relationships.

At the end of 2025, Runeasi was recognised as one of Belgium’s fastest-growing AI scale-ups. According to Schütte and co-founder and CTO Tim Op De Béeck, the recognition highlights the company’s commitment to scientific accuracy and validation, using AI as a practical tool rather than a marketing buzzword.
