Neko Health Adds $260M for Preventative Scans

Neko Health is revolutionizing routine checkups.

The latest: The preventative healthcare startup co-founded by Spotify’s Daniel Ek secured $260M in Series B funding led by Lightspeed Venture Partners.

Head-to-toe. Neko’s £299 (~$370) full-body scan maps millions of data points in minutes, screening for cardiovascular risks, skin cancer, and metabolic issues, with doctor consultation included.

Wait and see. With 10K scans completed across London and Stockholm locations, demand is surging — 100K+ people are waitlisted, and 80% of members pre-book a follow-up scan.

As healthcare costs rise and outcomes suffer, Neko’s aims to fill a void – with consumers paying out of pocket for personalized care and peace of mind.

Prevention playbook. CEO Hjalmar Nilsonne believes Neko’s AI-powered diagnostics represent a new paradigm, making proactive screenings more accessible to catch diseases before they develop.

To date, Neko reports 14.1% of people scanned required medical intervention, with 1% considered life-saving.

Looking ahead: With US expansion in the works, Neko aims to accelerate healthcare’s evolution — converting waitlist demand into operational scale.
