Daniel Ek’s body-scanning startup Neko Health raises another $700M
Neko Health, a startup co-founded by Daniel Ek, has raised $700 million in a Series C funding round to expand its body-scanning health assessment technology. The company plans to open its first U.S. location in New York following successful operations in the UK and Sweden.
Why it matters
The massive investment highlights the growing market for preventative, tech-driven health diagnostics and the influence of tech entrepreneurs in the medical sector.
Neko Health , the body-scanning and health assessment startup founded by Spotify’s Daniel Ek (pictured above, right) and his co-founder Hjalmar Nilsonne (above, left), has raised a $700 million Series C.
The round was led by Lightspeed Venture Partners and O.G. Venture Partners. This follows the company’s $260 million Series B raised in January 2025.
Neko Health has developed proprietary body-scanning technology, which it couples with bloodwork, to assess a person’s health. For gym lovers, the scan also now includes body composition information. It can couple the assessment with Apple Health data, which Nilsonne says gives its medical clinicians real-world data to use in its assessments.
