Daniel Ek’s body-scanning startup Neko Health raises another $700M

Daniel Ek’s body-scanning startup Neko Health raises another $700M

Daniel Ek’s body-scanning startup Neko Health raises another $700M

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.

Neko Health, which has locations in the U.K. and Sweden, is preparing for its first U.S. location in New York. The company says more than 100,000 people have already had scans and more than 350,000 people 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. He 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.”

Neko Health isn’t the only health scanning company founded by tech folks. Midjourney, the AI Lab best known for its AI image and video creation model and website, is also creating a body scanner, which it plans to integrate into a spa experience with hot tubs and saunas, opening 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.
