Today I'm excited to share an update on @Neko's US expansion. This launch is probably the most consequential milestone in our company's mission to make preventive healthcare accessible at population scale. Modern medicine is extraordinary at fixing you once something has gone wrong. It is almost entirely uninterested in looking before that happens. We've spent the past 8 years building an alternative and we are finally ready to bring it to the US for the first time. Neko NYC opens on 24 September at 300 Lafayette Street in SoHo. A Neko Health Scan is $499. Americans are already spending thousands of dollars to access yearly labs, on-demand scans, or concierge medicine. At Neko, there are no third-party imaging centres, no send-out labs, nobody in the middle taking a cut. We built a completely new healthcare experience ourselves to make it both better and cheaper for you. If you're not familiar with our concept, in one hour you get a full skin check, body composition, EKG, 4-point blood pressure analysis, macro and micro vascular assessment, and comprehensive labs with results before you leave. Then a clinician sits down with you and takes you through every finding, in person, before you leave the building. For about 1.2% of scans we have a direct life-saving intervention. There are already 25,000 New Yorkers in line for a scan. That could mean saving 300 lives in NYC alone. Miami, SF and Washington DC are already under construction. Waitlists for those cities open today (linked in the comments). 🇺🇸

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.
