Nourish, a U.S.-based telehealth platform, has raised $100 million in Series C funding led by Menlo Ventures. The company connects patients with registered dietitians through insurance-covered virtual appointments for personalized nutrition counseling focused on chronic conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and gut health. The capital will support expansion into a full AI-native metabolic clinic model that integrates physicians, lab testing, and GLP-1 prescriptions.
GLP-1 Demand Accelerates Virtual Nutrition
The timing aligns with surging interest in nutrition support alongside GLP-1 medications. Competitors have also attracted capital, including Fay which raised $50 million and Season Health which secured $45 million. Nourish differentiates through broad insurance acceptance and a focus on sustainable habit building rather than medication-centric approaches.
Chronic Disease Burden Drives Demand
Nearly 200 million Americans live with nutrition-related chronic conditions, yet existing care remains expensive and fragmented. Current solutions often leave patients paying out of pocket or navigating limited in-network options, resulting in low adherence rates for long-term management of conditions like prediabetes and hypertension.
AI Platform Integrates Dietitians and Labs
Nourish built an insurance-backed platform with over 10,000 registered dietitians delivering virtual care. Its model combines personalized plans with AI agents for 24/7 coaching and recently launched Nourish Labs for integrated biomarker testing. This differs from competitors like Berry Street, which emphasizes direct-pay models, and Foodsmart, which focuses more on grocery integration.
As Nourish CEO Aidan Dewar noted:
“Since the start of the business, the vision has always been how do we combine a virtual care team… with AI that can be a 24/7 coach.”
Tier-1 Investors Signal Strong Conviction
Menlo Ventures led the round, with participation from Thrive Capital, Index Ventures, J.P. Morgan Growth Equity Partners, and Y Combinator. The $1.75 billion post-money valuation and total funding reaching $215 million reflect investor confidence in Nourish's profitable growth and payer partnerships covering 200 million lives.
Nutrition Counseling Market Expands Rapidly
The nutrition counseling market stands at $8.43 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $17.12 billion by 2034. Trends include rising telehealth adoption and federal policy shifts such as the 2026 Dietary Guidelines reset emphasizing preventive nutrition. Other players include Wellory with $10 million raised.
Nourish reports 94 percent patient recommendation rates and 90 percent goal achievement within three months, alongside 68 percent GLP-1 persistence at six months compared to a 46 percent industry benchmark.
Expansion Targets Physician Integration
With deployments scaling and new product launches underway, Nourish is hiring for provider partnerships roles and integrating in-house GLP-1 prescribing capabilities to serve health systems and employers more comprehensively.
