Neko Health Raises $700M to Revolutionize Body Scanning and Health Assessment
Neko Health, a groundbreaking body-scanning and health assessment startup co-founded by Spotify’s Daniel Ek and Hjalmar Nilsonne, has made a significant stride in its mission to transform the healthcare industry. The company has successfully raised a staggering $700 million in a Series C funding round, led by Lightspeed Venture Partners and O.G. Venture Partners.
This latest funding follows Neko Health’s $260 million Series B raise in January 2025, further solidifying the company’s position as a leader in the health assessment space. The funds will be utilized to expand the company’s operations, develop its proprietary body-scanning technology, and enhance its services to provide a more comprehensive and accurate assessment of individuals’ health.
Neko Health’s innovative approach to health assessment combines proprietary body-scanning technology with bloodwork to provide a detailed analysis of a person’s health. For fitness enthusiasts, the scan now includes body composition information, providing a holistic view of an individual’s health. The company’s technology also seamlessly integrates with Apple Health data, allowing medical clinicians to access real-world data to inform their assessments.
With locations in the U.K. and Sweden, Neko Health is poised to expand its reach with the opening of its first U.S. location in New York. The company has already seen remarkable traction, with over 100,000 individuals having undergone scans and over 350,000 people registered for the waitlist or set an appointment.
Neko Health’s impact extends beyond the realm of health assessment, as evident from the story of Calm founder Alex Tew, who credits the company with discovering a malignant mole on his back, which was promptly removed. This is a testament to the company’s ability to make a tangible difference in people’s lives.
Other investors in Neko Health’s latest round include Atomico, General Catalyst, Lakestar, Liberty City Ventures, Positive Sum, and BDT & MSD. As the company continues to push the boundaries of health assessment, it is likely to attract further investment and attention in the industry.
In a related development, Midjourney, the AI Lab behind the popular AI image and video creation model, is also venturing into the realm of body scanning. The company plans to integrate its technology into a spa experience with hot tubs and saunas, set to open in San Francisco in 2027. This development highlights the growing interest in health and wellness technologies.
