Show notes
For episode 740 of the BlockHash Podcast, host Brandon Zemp is joined by Kenny Wood, CEO of Sleepagotchi, a next-generation AI health data platform that started with sleep and is rapidly expanding into the broader wellness economy.
The company just closed a $6.5M raise backed by Sfermion, Inception, 6th Man, and 1kx and launched its first personalised AI Sleep Coach on 19 May. Before joining Sleepagotchi, Kenny was CTO at Moonlander, a next-generation game creation studio successfully acquired by Alpha 3D. His career began in AAA games, shipping chart-topping franchises including Transformers (#1 in the UK console charts), Formula 1, and World Rally Championship.
A builder and technologist with rare breadth, spanning AAA studios, R&D labs, defence simulation, and applied AI, Kenny brings a perspective on behaviour change and AI-driven systems that most founders in the wellness space simply don't have.
