Qalzy Raises Pre-seed Funding To Expand AI Nutrition Scale And Global Launch

The round was backed by Jenson Ventures, following nearly €204K ($241K) raised through Kickstarter pre-orders ahead of its global launch.

Founded in 2023 by former Microsoft engineers, Qalzy is building an AI-powered nutrition tracking platform centred around a smart kitchen scale.

The device uses a built-in camera to identify, weigh and log food instantly, enabling accurate, real-time dietary tracking without manual input.

The company aims to solve a key pain point in nutrition tracking time and effort. While image-based calorie apps are fast, they can be inaccurate, sometimes with error rates as high as 65%. Qalzy combines AI speed with the precision of a scale to deliver more reliable results for everyday health and weight management.

Its patent-pending technology is trained on millions of food images and continuously improves through user corrections. The scale weighs around 700g, offers a 10-hour battery life, and charges via USB-C in about an hour.

Qalzy also supports a growing community of over 427,000 users focused on calorie tracking and low-calorie recipes. With new funding and strong early demand, the company is preparing for a global product launch.

“The way most people track calories today is still far too slow, frustrating, and tedious. We built Qalzy to remove that friction by combining precise weighing with AI so users can accurately log meals in seconds. This funding allows us to expand our production capabilities, further improve recognition accuracy and launch internationally with the right foundation in place,” said Kostas Koukoravas, CEO of Qalzy.
