A body scan with Neko Health in London gave me a more refined look at my own health. I've already booked my next one. trib.al/Vi5uZJ4

I visited all 4 sites in London earlier this year. Did NOT disappoint. Unfortunately, my next appointment is in six weeks I have definitely not improved some of my more concerning markers 😂
Neko Health@Neko

We've raised a $700M Series C, led by @lightspeedvp and co-led by O.G. Venture Partners. Since 2023, more than 350,000 people have signed up for a Neko Health Scan, and 100,000 people have experienced one. Today, our approach to redefining how people understand and act on their health is already working: for returning members, our data shows that 5 out of 7 of their key health markers showed statistically significant improvement between scans. This funding will scale our research into the hidden causes of disease and the development of proprietary technology to detect it before it has time to develop. It will also fund our continued expansion, including to the US, where our first clinic is set to open in New York this year. This round comes weeks after our biggest update yet to the Neko Health Scan, with body composition measures and clinician review of wearable data now included in all scans across our clinics in the UK and Sweden. We're grateful for the continued support of @atomico, @generalcatalyst, and Lakestar, and welcome new investors including Liberty City Ventures, Positive Sum, and BDT & MSD Partners.

claire went to neko hq and came back with the best 3 minutes on preventive health you'll watch today. congrats @HNilsonne, @eldsjal and the @Neko team
Claire Zau@clairejyz

@Neko: $700M SERIES C FOR THE FUTURE OF PREVENTIVE HEALTH If you designed healthcare from scratch today, what would it look like? That's the question @HNilsonne and @eldsjal started with in 2018. Their answer is a full-body scan where ~70 sensors capture millions of data points in minutes, with lab results and a doctor walkthrough in the same visit. So far, 100,000+ people have been scanned across Sweden and the UK, and 350,000+ more on the waitlist. NYC opening later this year 👀 Congratulations to Daniel, Hjalmar, and the entire Neko team. Lightspeed is a proud partner on this journey to make healthcare proactive instead of reactive. @bsomaia @BrentonFargnoli @shak

I’ve been waiting a long time for the right health-tech innovation, and @Neko Health is where I’m placing my biggest bet. Get a high-definition map of your biology in less than 60 minutes, explained by an unhurried doctor, all in one location – for around $500.  More than 100,000 people have experienced Neko in the UK and Sweden. The US is coming next, starting in NYC, followed by other cities. Join the waitlist on the Neko Health website. Huge kudos to @eldsjal, @HNilsonne, and @Shak for creating a beautiful health experience that produces real changes in members. Neko has already saved lives and will save many more.

Hjalmar Nilsonne@HNilsonne·
The backstory here is: I had been building Neko for about 4 years at this point. During this period I had met ZERO investors, angels etc. No conferences, no media, no nothing. All day every day just grinding to make our first set of diagnostic products in stealth. So as we were considering raising our first external round @eldsjal connected me with @HarryStebbings to get a sense of what investors were looking for at the time. I was confident that we had an amazing story and that I would blow him away. Harry being Harry after about 15 minutes on the phone said "You're a humble and nice Swede, you're terrible at pitching! You have no chance of raising money, just being honest here". I didn't give up and jumped on a plane to London to brainstorm how to explain what we are doing to another human being in 30 seconds instead of 30 minutes. He wore his famous shorts, put his phone on airplane mode, and we spent about 2 hours hashing out the story in more simple terms. Once we met the first investor we were ready with a decent story for the company and the round. We got a term-sheet before the official round had even started. Even though Harry didn't invest himself, he's always been there for us just as if he was an investor. So thanks for all the truthful feedback and help along the way Harry!
Harry Stebbings@HarryStebbings

Ten years investing, my single biggest lesson: Don’t let deal mechanics (round size, price) prevent you from doing an early stage deal. Ever. @eldsjal @shak called me. Introduced me to @HNilsonne. Hell, me and Hjalmar even had a fundraising session together pre anything. My decision to not invest was based on price. It was stupid, short sighted and cost me circa $500M in gains. That said, Neko has the ability to change healthcare for everyone. It has the ability to help people like my mother, manage her MS. And it is run by my two oldest friends; Shak and Daniel who have always been there for me. Forgive me for not investing, I feel the $500M pain more than anyone. $700M raised today. The category leader. I salute you. I am so proud of you. Time for the Apple of Healthcare to dominate the US.

Proud to have personally joined this cap table earlier this year. @Neko is rewriting the rules on early detection and preventive care. Can't wait until Neko scans are available in the US later this year. Congratulations to @eldsjal,@HNilsonne, @shak and the team.

I’ve used Neko several times. Made my previous doctor visits feel like the Middle Ages! Awesome service created by great people:
Hjalmar Nilsonne@HNilsonne

Today we're announcing that @Neko has raised a $700M Series C. @eldsjal and I started the company with the belief that the solution to the trickiest problems in healthcare won't come from scaling the existing system. Medicine has spent centuries getting good at treating disease. The next medical frontier will be understanding health and making sure things are not going wrong in the first place. To proactively find problems you need to find when things start to change, and to do we need a completely new approach to tracking health over time. You cannot solve this by just adding more software to the existing system. Diagnostic technology needs to become faster, cheaper and more accurate. Data needs to be understood continuously. Doctors need better tools and more time with each person. That's why at Neko, we've rebuilt the entire stack: medical devices, sensors, AI, software, clinical protocols and clinics run by our own staff. Our first product, the Neko Health Scan, maps millions of health data points and gives members their results in a single 60-minute visit. More than 100,000 people have now experienced it. This new funding will help us advance the quality and affordability of preventive care by orders of magnitude. We are expanding into the US, starting in New York City, and taking on some of the hardest problems in medicine: earlier detection, deeply personalized care, better health outcomes and new insights into the drivers of chronic disease. Our goal is to make healthcare proactive by default. This funding will help get us there faster.

Some anniversaries catch you by surprise. Exactly 15 years ago today we launched Spotify in the US. This morning, @Neko announced a $700M Series C and our imminent US launch, starting with New York. Feeling the same excitement today as I did back then, knowing we're about to launch something that will impact millions of lives.

Neko raised $700M at a $7B valuation today. Earlier this year I had my second annual Neko scan. Everything was good apart from a strange looking mole on my back. Neko referred me for further investigation and it turned out to be malignant. I had it swiftly excised and everything is fine now. I'm grateful to Neko for helping me discover this - I'm not sure how I would have otherwise. Neko is blazing the trail for the future of preventative healthcare. A generational company in the making.

BREAKING: Neko Health has raised a HUGE $700m Series C at an almost $7bn valuation! The company is embarking on a LARGE US expansion programme. Founded by Spotify's Daniel Ek and Hjalmar Nilsonne, @Neko has become one of the leading health tech companies in the world. At the heart of Neko’s offering is the Neko Health Scan. It is a 60-minute, comprehensive, non-invasive, and radiation-free health assessment that captures millions of health data points. The company became a unicorn after its $260m Series B in early 2025 and over 100k people have had a scan. Today it has announced a huge $700mc Series C, at a valuation just shy of $7bn. The round has been led by Lightspeed (@bsomaia) and co-led by O.G. Venture Partners. It also attracted a seriously impressive list of athletes, celebrities and health experts including @AriEmanuel, @tferriss, @iamwill, @alexisohanian, @StevenBartlett, and many others. This is amazing news for one of Europe's most exciting companies. I had my first scan earlier this year and it was an INSANE experience. Congrats to the team - I am VERY much looking forward to seeing their US domination 🦾. NICE @eldsjal, @shak, @sararahmcb, @HNilsonne
