GymBeam investors have reason to be satisfied - it is the leader in Europe

In November, the largest growth investment in Slovakia’s history - €30 million for GymBeam from PortfoLion and the EBRD - and in May, the TOP 1 sports nutrition brand in Europe. Growth capital makes sense.

GymBeam confirms its position as one of the most successful growth stories in the region. The company, founded by Dalibor Cicman, has become the largest sports nutrition brand in the European Union by revenue and today ranks among the fastest-growing e-commerce companies in Europe.

Behind GymBeam’s success, however, there is more than just strong management, product quality, or expansion into foreign markets. Slovak and Czech investors also played an important role, placing their trust in the company during a period of dynamic growth. As early as 2019, GymBeam raised €6 million in growth capital through Crowdberry and Slovak Investment Holding. At the time, it was the largest e-commerce investment in Slovakia.

Since then, the company has significantly accelerated its expansion. It has entered new European markets and invested in logistics automation, the development of its own brands, and technological infrastructure. The company’s potential was subsequently confirmed by renowned international investors PortfoLion and the EBRD, who invested an additional €30 million in GymBeam in 2025 to support its expansion in Western Europe.

The GymBeam story shows that private investment and growth capital for domestic companies make sense. Not only for the economy and the companies themselves, but also for investors, who can become part of successful business stories.
