# Neko Health Raises $700M Series C for Preventive Health Platform

> 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 O.G. Venture Partners co-leading. The company runs clinics built around a 60-minute, non-invasive full-body scan that collects a broad sweep of health data and puts it in front of a doctor immediately, with AI used to help interpret the results. The demand signal is real: Neko says it has completed more than 100,000 scans and has a waitlist north of 350,000. This round funds a U.S. push, starting in New York City before a wider national rollout, and it positions the company as a bet that early detection can be turned into a consumer product. The interesting tension is whether AI-assisted screening at scale catches problems early or simply generates anxiety and false positives, a debate that has dogged whole-body scanning for years. With this much capital and a high-profile founder, Neko is about to test that question in the American market, where the appetite for preventive health is large and the regulatory scrutiny is larger.
