Correction: This story has been updated with corrected information about Ultrahuman's funding.

Health and fitness company Ultrahuman scored $17.5 million in Series B funding this morning. The investment came from Alpha Wave Incubation (AWI), which is backed by DisruptAD and managed by Falcon Edge, Steadview Capital, Nexus Venture Partners, Blume Ventures and Utsav Somani’s iSeed fund as well as numerous angel investors.

Ultrahuman's app aims to help boost users’ metabolic fitness by incorporating other parts of health, including sleep, meditation and exercise to its technology. Users are able to get health nudges and insights about diet and exercise. 

The company, which launched in January of 2021, plans to use the new funds to expand its current technology and create new tech via wearables to help users monitor their glucose levels and other metrics.


Medicare navigation platform Connie Health scored $13 million in Series A funding last week. The news came as the Boston-based startup announced its expansion into Texas, making it the second state that Connie Health operates in. Khosla Ventures and Pittango Healthtech led this Series A round. 

This new infusion of cash brings the company’s total funding to $16 million.

The platform was designed to help Medicare members figure out what healthcare plan is best for them, see which doctors they can choose from, and navigate their plan’s benefits. According to the release, the tech uses artificial intelligence and a local Medicare source who can help answer questions for users.

“Unlike employer-based plans where people have a handful of options, the typical Medicare consumer is faced with hundreds of plans to choose from. Medicare plans are local, and options vary by county. It is therefore vital to work with agents with knowledge of local plans and hospital networks.

"Our solution enhances this human knowledge with an AI-driven recommendation engine that ranks the hundreds of options available in any locale based on a person’s individual needs,” Oded Eran, cofounder and CEO of Connie Health, said in a statement.

“The additional funding will allow us to scale this groundbreaking approach nationally and continue to help people make the most of Medicare.” 


Sleep-focused startup Revery landed $2 million in capital earlier this week, according to a Tech Crunch report. The latest funding round was led by Sequoia Capital India’s Surge program, with participation from GGV Capital, Pascal Capital, zVentures and angel investors. 

The company designed a gamified falling asleep experience by combining cognitive behavioral therapy and sleep-focused games. 

The company, which was founded in 2021, is yet to officially launch, but plans on launching in the U.S. later this year, according to TechCrunch. 


Chicago-based Clinify announced a $3.1 million seed funding round earlier this week led by Seae Ventures, Built in Chicago reported. The company is focused on supporting independent primary care practices who serve the Medicare population through its data analytics platform. 

Clinify created a dashboard where physicians are able to review treatment, management and preventative care interventions in order to meet value-based care requirements. 

The company told Built in Chicago that it planned on expanding its geographical footprint and serving states beyond Illinois and Georgia, as well as building up its team and products.
