Summary
Khosla Ventures-backed Healthify, an Indian AI-powered health and nutrition coaching platform, has merged with Berry Street, a US-based nutrition-care provider. The combination unites Healthify's digital health technology platform with Berry Street's clinical nutrition care model and dietitian network, positioning the merged entity to compete in the US preventive nutrition market.
Healthify previously raised $20 million in a funding round led by Khosla Ventures and LeapFrog Investments, with participation from Claypond Capital, bringing the company's total equity funding to approximately $125 million. The capital was earmarked for US market expansion. Separately, Berry Street secured $50 million in recent funding to accelerate growth of its consumer nutrition platform and suite of provider AI tools, with the capital designated to expand the company's national footprint and enterprise partnerships with risk-bearing healthcare entities.
In advance of the merger, Berry Street bolstered its leadership team with experienced healthcare executives. Richard Fu joined as Chief Commercial Officer, bringing over 15 years of healthcare strategy and commercial expertise from roles including Chief Commercial Officer at Flume Health, Chief Strategy Officer at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City (serving 1 million-plus members), and Strategy Executive at Accenture. Anita Khosla was appointed Chief Product Officer, drawing on 15+ years of B2B and B2C product development experience, most recently as Head of Reading Subscriptions Selection at Amazon, where she led global content strategy for Kindle Unlimited.
The merger reflects the emerging business case for enterprise-level nutrition care as healthcare systems increasingly recognize prevention and dietary intervention as foundational to health outcomes. By combining Healthify's AI-driven coaching capabilities with Berry Street's established clinical dietitian network and enterprise relationships, the combined platform aims to address a market gap in scalable, clinically-backed nutrition interventions for US health plans and provider organizations.
