# Neko Health Raises $700M Series C at $7B Valuation for US Clinic Expansion

> Neko Health, the preventive-health startup co-founded by Spotify's Daniel Ek, has raised a $700 million Series C led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, with backing that reportedly includes the Zuckerberg-Chan family. The round values Neko at $7 billion, roughly quadrupling its $1.7 billion valuation from early 2025. Neko builds full-body scanning clinics that use AI to analyze a battery of health measurements and flag potential issues early, and demand has clearly outrun supply: the company reports over 100,000 completed scans, more than 350,000 people on its waitlist, and 75% of members prepaying for annual follow-ups. The new money funds a US push, with first clinics opening in New York and other cities alongside next-generation hardware. Preventive scanning is a genuinely contested idea in medicine, but the scale of the waitlist shows how much appetite there is for AI-driven early detection, and how much capital is betting the model works.
