Weight health company Found taps Luca Ranaldi as CEO

Just two and a half months after emerging from stealth, weight care management startup Found announced today that it has raised $100 million in a Series B funding round that values the company at $600 million. WestCap — a growth equity firm founded by former Blackstone and Airbnb executive Laurence Tosi — led the investment, with participation from IVP, The Chernin Group, G9 Ventures and Able Partners. Existing backers GV, Define and founding investor Atomic also put money in the round, along with angel investors such as Instacart CEO Fidji Simo and Everly Health CEO Julia Cheek. New CEO and former Bumble executive Sarah Jones Simmer described the round as oversubscribed and pre-emptive, considering the startup “had not planned” on the raise process

More than 100 million adults in America are living with obesity, yet only 1% of providers are trained in obesity medicine, leaving many patients to turn to non-expert sources for medical information and prescriptionsThe Obesity Medicine Scholarship program, funded by Found, bridges the gap in care and encourages physicians to become American Board of Obesity Medicine certifiedTwo $5,000 scholarships will be awarded to providers pursuing ABOM certification to cover exam review course and related exam fees, travel expenses, and membership to the OMAAUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Found, one of the largest medically-assisted weight loss programs in the U.S., today announced it is partnering with the Obesity Medicine Association (OMA) and the Obesity Action Coalition (OAC) to launch the OMA and OAC Obesity Medicine Scholarship program. The program will help ensure there are more obesity medicine experts to provide care to those in need by offering resources to medical providers interested in becoming American Board of Obesity Medicine (ABOM) certified. Funded by Found, a $5,000 scholarship will be awarded to two physicians to cover ABOM registration fees to take the certification exam, a one-year membership to the OMA, registration to attend the OMA Annual Conference and the Review Course for the ABOM Exam in April 2024, and a travel stipend.More than 100 million adults in America are living with obesity, yet only 1% of providers are trained in obesity medicine, creating a cycle of biases and misunderstandings that prevent any progress. When people try to seek help from their healthcare providers, they can be met with judgment, dismissiveness, or unfounded assumptions that their weight is the result of a willpower deficit. This environment makes it challenging for patients to receive the support they need and may encourage patients to consult non-expert sources for medical guidance, medication information, and prescriptions

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Evidence-based weight care program Found today announced a partnership with BetterHelp, the world’s largest online therapy service, to offer one month of free therapy to Found members new to BetterHelp in support of their mental health. Found is the first program to approach obesity as a disease, not a decision, and studies have shown that disease carries with it significant psychological burden. Many people who have obesity also struggle with issues related to mood, self-esteem, and quality of life. Found and BetterHelp believe that an integrated approach to weight includes taking care of both mental and physical health.Adults with obesity are at a 55% higher risk for developing depression, and people who are depressed are 58% more likely to develop obesity. As part of their approach, Found believes that weight loss is about more than just the number on the scale, which is why they’ve coined the term “weight care.” The Found program not only helps people manage their weight, but also improve their lifestyle habits such as getting additional sleep, incorporating daily movement and learning mindfulness skills. Research has proven that mental health and weight are inextricably linked, and that positive results for each condition are associated with improvements in the other.“Stress can affect a person’s appetite, metabolism, and many other physiological functions, linking the negative outcomes that poor mental health can have on physical health
