Neko Health, the health assessment and body scanning 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 OG Venture Partners. This follows the company’s $260 million Series B raised in January 2025.

Neko Health has developed a patented body scanning technology, which combines with blood tests, to assess a person’s health. For gym lovers, the scan now also includes body composition information. You can combine the assessment with Apple Health data, which Nilsonne says gives its doctors real-world data to use in their assessments.

Neko Health, which has branches in the United Kingdom and Sweden, is preparing to open its first branch in New York in the United States. The company says more than 100,000 people have already undergone scans and more than 350,000 people have signed up for the waiting list or made an appointment.

One of the people who underwent a Neko Health scan is Calm founder Alex Tew. He posted on X that he found a malignant mole on his back, which he quickly removed. “I’m grateful to Neko for helping me figure this out; I’m not sure how I would have done it any other way.”

Neko Health isn’t the only health scanning company founded by tech people. 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.
