Most individuals monitoring their well being right now find yourself with scattered clues. Their smartwatch reveals sleep period. A health app logs steps. A vitamin app counts energy. But few instruments assist individuals perceive how all of this suits collectively.

Bevel, a New York–primarily based startup, believes that’s the lacking piece within the shift towards proactive well being. The corporate has raised a $10 million Sequence A from Normal Catalyst to scale its AI well being companion, which unifies information from wearables and each day habits throughout sleep, health, and vitamin into customized insights.

The funding follows a breakout yr for the two-year-old well being tech firm.

Bevel says it has grown greater than eightfold inside the previous yr and now reaches over 100,000 each day energetic customers, making it one of many fastest-growing well being apps within the U.S. The corporate additionally provides that the typical consumer opens the app eight occasions per day, and retention stays above 80% at 90 days, uncommon numbers in a class the place individuals usually churn after reaching a short-term health aim.

“We consider well being as a steady journey, not a section,” mentioned co-founder and CEO Gray Nguyen in an interview with TechCrunch. “Bevel meets you the place you’re, learns out of your habits, and helps you make small adjustments that compound over time.”

However with quite a few well being companion manufacturers, from Whoop to Oura to Eight Sleep, why does the world want one other one?

In keeping with co-founder and CTO Aditya Agarwal, many of those well being apps depend on accompanying {hardware} units that prospects should purchase and preserve. As a result of such units may be dear, there’s a possibility to create a product that’s purely software-based, giving individuals the flexibleness to make use of the wearables they already personal.

“A $500 ring or band is out of attain for lots of people,” mentioned Agarwal. “We already generate a lot useful well being information from our main wearables and different on a regular basis sources. We needed to make one thing that was extra accessible throughout a a lot bigger set of individuals.” Bevel customers pay $6 month-to-month or $50 yearly.

Not like typical wellness apps that target a single space reminiscent of steps, sleep, or vitamin, Bevel combines them into one expertise. It integrates with Apple Watch and different fashionable wearables by means of Apple Well being and straight syncs with steady glucose screens like Dexcom and Libre. Garmin and extra integrations are in improvement, the corporate mentioned.

All this data feeds into Bevel Intelligence, the corporate’s core software program, which helps analyze key data and adapt suggestions to every consumer, studying how their physique responds to emphasize, motion, or vitamin.

Bevel’s story began with ache — actually.

Earlier than beginning the corporate in late 2023, Nguyen, who beforehand led merchandise at Sam Altman–backed Campus, and co-founder Ben Yang, who labored on machine studying at Opendoor, had been constructing stablecoin infrastructure for enterprises. The demanding nature of startup life meant Nguyen took little care of his well being, creating continual again ache that went undiagnosed for months regardless of utilizing wearables and seeing docs repeatedly.

“Nothing identified what was really inflicting my again ache, not even my docs, which is loopy, proper?” he mentioned. “That’s when this concept got here up. Everybody’s life is so nuanced. There are such a lot of small belongings you do this stack on one another and, over time, create a continual situation.”

Nguyen says he started piecing collectively his well being information, monitoring sleep, vitamin, and steps, and realized that points throughout these areas had compounded over time. Low mobility from sitting too lengthy, sleep issues attributable to his mattress setup, and sodium-heavy meals that elevated irritation all performed a task.

Equally, Agarwal, previously CTO at Dropbox and an early engineer at Fb, had gone by means of his personal well being overhaul after years of intense work left him burned out. What helped was logging his information manually, by means of spreadsheets and related trackers, to rebuild his vitality.

When he related with Ben and Gray about what they had been constructing with Bevel, he noticed that they had an analogous imaginative and prescient and joined the staff.

“We shared the identical North Star, which helps individuals grow to be extra clever about their very own well being,” mentioned Agarwal, who can be a accomplice at South Park Commons. The enterprise capital agency, alongside Normal Catalyst, invested $4 million into Bevel earlier this yr.

With recent capital and no plans to enterprise into wearables, Bevel intends to develop its staff and develop horizontally into extra providers and partnerships that make proactive well being accessible.

“Bevel’s mission to democratize well being by means of intelligence and design deeply resonates with us,” mentioned Neeraj Arora, managing director at Normal Catalyst. “The extent of engagement they’re seeing from customers is exceptional, and it’s grow to be a part of individuals’s each day lives — not simply one other app. We’re excited to help this staff as they construct the way forward for private well being.”
