Alchemize Fightwear is a gear line designed specifically for female fighters. Founder Maya Nazareth, a Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, recognised that women had virtually no options for properly fitting combat sports gear and set out to change that.
What Is Alchemize Fightwear?
Alchemize Fightwear makes combat sports gear designed specifically for women’s bodies. Traditional fightwear is made for men and simply shrunk down for women, leading to poor fit and performance. Alchemize designs from the ground up for female fighters across Jiu-Jitsu, MMA, boxing, and other combat sports.
The Shark Tank Pitch
Maya Nazareth pitched on Episode 4 of Season 17, the first episode featuring Alexis Ohanian as a guest Shark. The pitch highlighted the gap in the market for women’s combat sports gear.
The Deal
Three Sharks invested $300,000 for 15% equity, giving Maya both capital and mentorship to scale Alchemize into a household name in women’s combat sports.
