Neko Health Secures Additional $700 Million in Funding as Expansion Accelerates

Neko Health, the preventive healthcare startup known for its body-scanning and health assessment technology and founded by Spotify co-founder Daniel Ek (pictured above, right) alongside Hjalmar Nilsonne (pictured above, left), has secured $700 million in a Series C funding round.

The latest investment was led by Lightspeed Venture Partners and O.G. Venture Partners, following the company’s $260 million Series B financing completed in January 2025.

Neko Health has developed its own body-scanning system that combines advanced imaging technology with blood testing to provide comprehensive health assessments. The company has also expanded its service to include body composition analysis for fitness-focused users. In addition, the platform can integrate with Apple Health, allowing clinicians to incorporate real-world health data into patient evaluations, according to Nilsonne.

Currently operating clinics in the United Kingdom and Sweden, Neko Health is preparing to open its first U.S. location in New York. The company says it has already performed health scans for more than 100,000 people, while over 350,000 individuals have either joined its waiting list or scheduled appointments.

Among those who have undergone a Neko Health scan is Calm co-founder Alex Tew. In a post shared on X, Tew said the assessment detected a malignant mole on his back, which he subsequently had removed. “I’m grateful to Neko for helping me discover this – I’m not sure how I would have otherwise,” he wrote.

Neko Health is not alone in pursuing technology-driven health screening. Midjourney, the AI company widely recognised for its image and video generation models, is also developing its own body scanner. The company plans to integrate the technology into a wellness spa experience featuring hot tubs and saunas, with a San Francisco location expected to open sometime in 2027.

Additional investors participating in Neko Health’s latest funding round include Atomico, General Catalyst, Lakestar, Liberty City Ventures, Positive Sum, and BDT & MSD.
