Neko Health raised $700 million in a funding round announced July 15, 2026. The company said it will open its first US clinic in New York this year and expand to additional cities. Neko Health operates eight clinics in the UK and Sweden, including four in London and two in Stockholm.
Full-body scans cost £299 in the UK and 2,750 Swedish kronor in Sweden. The company has scanned 100,000 people and has more than 350,000 on waitlists or registered for scans. The funding will support the US expansion and further research into AI-powered preventive screening for conditions such as skin cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.
Neko Health last raised $260 million in early 2025. Unnamed sources cited by the Financial Times put the company's new valuation at around $7 billion. New investors include will.i.am, Maria Sharapova, Mark Zuckerberg, Priscilla Chan, and Thierry Henry.
Existing backers include Alexis Ohanian and Zoë Saldaña. Neko Health was founded in 2018 by Hjalmar Nilsonne and Daniel Ek. It operated quietly until launching in 2023. In a press release, Nilsonne said the new capital will help take the company's mission to the US for the first time and make prevention possible at scale.
A waitlist for the New York location is now open on the company's website.
