Daniel Ek body-scanning startup Neko Health raises another $700M
Image: Primary Neko Health, the body-scanning startup founded by Spotify co-founder Daniel Ek and Hjalmar Nilsonne, has raised a $700 million Series C round, the company announced. The round was led by Lightspeed Venture Partners and O.G. Venture Partners. Other investors include Atomico, General Catalyst, Lakestar, Liberty City Ventures, Positive Sum, and BDT & MSD. The funding follows a $260 million Series B raised in January 2025. Neko Health uses proprietary scanning technology combined with bloodwork to assess health and can integrate Apple Health data. The company operates locations in the U.K. and Sweden and is preparing to open its first U.S. location in New York. It says more than 100,000 people have received scans and more than 350,000 have registered for the waitlist or set an appointment. Calm founder Alex Tew posted on X that a scan found a malignant mole on his back. Separately, Midjourney is developing a body scanner for a spa experience planned for San Francisco in 2027.
