Neko Health, the body-scanning and health assessment startup co-founded by Spotify's Daniel Ek and Hjalmar Nilsonne, has raised a $700 million Series C led by Lightspeed Venture Partners and O.G. Venture Partners. This follows the company's $260 million Series B in January 2025 - because apparently, people really want to know what's going on inside their bodies.

The company uses proprietary scanning tech plus bloodwork to assess health, and now includes body composition info for gym enthusiasts. It can also integrate Apple Health data, giving clinicians real-world data that's presumably more accurate than your vague self-diagnosis. Neko Health currently has locations in the UK and Sweden, with a first U.S. location planned for New York. More than 100,000 people have already been scanned, and over 350,000 are on the waitlist or have appointments.

One satisfied customer: Calm founder Alex Tew, who posted on X that a Neko scan 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,” he said, presumably without the meditative calm of his own app.

Neko Health isn't the only tech-bro health scanning venture. MidJourney, the AI lab known for image generation, is also building a body scanner, to be integrated into a San Francisco spa with hot tubs and saunas by 2027 - because nothing says wellness like AI-generated art and a sauna.

Other investors in the round include Atomico, General Catalyst, Lakestar, Liberty City Ventures, Positive Sum, and BDT & MSD.
