Spotify founder Daniel Ek’s Neko Health raised $700 million to build a business around scanning your body, but it’s not the only company centering its roadmap around a new kind of preventative healthcare. Midjourney is building its own body scanner , while Function Health has also raised significant capital to build out its preventative-health platform. Why are investors betting so big on this category?
On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Dominic-Madori Davis talks with Farooq Abbasi , founder and general partner of Preface Ventures and an investor in Neko Health, about how Neko compares with other consumer-health startups. They discuss what has to happen for body scanning to become part of the broader healthcare system.
