Neko Health raised its first external funding, a $65M (€60M) Series A round led by Lakestar. The Swedish healthcare startup was co-founded by Spotify's co-founder Daniel Ek along with Hjalmar Nilsonne in 2018. Neko Health intends to use the proceeds to accelerate expansion, add more clinics in Europe, back R&D and clinical studies, and recruit employees. The startup emerged from stealth earlier this February. - Neko Health provides AI-powered full-body scans that help detect skin conditions, cardiovascular diseases, and metabolic syndromes.
- The firm inaugurated its first clinic in Stockholm, Sweden, where it offers the body scan — which takes roughly 10 minutes — for €250 ($272).
- Atomico and General Catalyst backed the firm's current fundraiser.
- Atomico's founder Klaus Hommels and General Catalyst's founder Niklas Zennström will take board seats alongside the two founders of Neko Health.
