Virta Health focuses on reversing type 2 diabetes through a combination of personalized nutrition, continuous remote care, and behavioral science. Their treatment is designed for individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, healthcare providers, and enterprise partners like employers and health plans. Unlike many competitors, Virta Health operates on a performance-based model, meaning they only receive payment if they achieve successful outcomes for their patients. This aligns their financial incentives with patient health improvements. The company's goal is to reverse type 2 diabetes in 100 million people, making their approach not just about managing diabetes but actively working towards its reversal.

What believers are saying

  • Virta Health's recent peer-reviewed study demonstrates sustained weight loss after discontinuation of GLP-1s, highlighting the effectiveness of their approach.
  • Partnerships with major health plans and employers, such as U-Haul and Blue Shield of California, validate Virta's value-based payment model and clinical results.
  • The company's rapid growth and successful funding rounds, including a $45 million Series B, indicate strong market confidence and potential for expansion.

What critics are saying
