Health Scanning Startup Neko Health Raises $700 Million

Neko Health, founded by Spotify's Daniel Ek and Hjalmar Nilsonne, raises $700 million in Series C funding, led by Lightspeed Venture Partners and O.G. Venture Partners.

Neko Health has developed proprietary body-scanning technology that couples with bloodwork to assess a person's health. The scan now also includes body composition information for gym lovers, and can be coupled with Apple Health data to give medical clinicians real-world data to use in its assessments.

The company has locations in the UK and Sweden, and is preparing for its first US location in New York. Over 100,000 people have already had scans, and more than 350,000 have either registered for the waitlist or set an appointment.

One of the people who had a Neko Health scan is Calm founder Alex Tew, who posted on X that it found a malignant mole on his back, which he promptly had removed.

"I'm grateful to Neko for helping me discover this – I'm not sure how I would have otherwise," Tew said.

Neko Health isn't the only health scanning company founded by tech folks. MidJourney, the AI Lab behind the AI image and video creation model, is also creating a body scanner, which it plans to integrate into a spa experience with hot tubs and saunas in San Francisco sometime in 2027.

Other investors in Neko Health's latest round include Atomico, General Catalyst, Lakestar, Liberty City Ventures, Positive Sum, and BDT & MSD.
