Fay, a leader in digital nutritional therapy, announced yesterday a $50 million Series B funding round led by Goldman Sachs at a $500 million valuatio
Fay, a San Francisco, CA-based company connecting people with registered dietitian nutritionists, raised $25M in funding.
Fay, founded by Sammy Faycurry and Mark Stefanski, has emerged from stealth with $25M in funding to revolutionize nutrition counseling. The $20M Series A round was led by Forerunner Ventures, with participation from General Catalyst and 1984. Fay connects people with Registered Dietitian Nutritionists, offering personalized nutrition counseling covered by insurance. The funds will accelerate growth, integrate with food service delivery platforms, expand insurance coverage, and enhance employer partnerships.
Nutrition startup Fay raised $50 million in Series B funding at a $500 million valuation, led by Goldman Growth Equity. Existing investors General Catalyst and Forerunner also participated. Fay connects patients with registered dietitians covered by insurance and has grown significantly since its 2024 launch. The funds will enhance data reporting on patient outcomes and cost savings. Fay's platform now hosts over 2,500 dietitians and offers AI-powered features for meal planning.
For years, Sammy Faycurry has been hearing from his dietician mom and sister about how poorly many Americans eat and their struggles with delivering nutritional counseling.Although nearly half of all adults in the country are affected by chronic conditions linked to unhealthy diets, health plans have a limited number of in-network registered dieticians. Faycurry decided to build a platform that would empower RDs, like his mom and sister, to start their own practices while being covered by insurance. He began working on Fay, a startup that connects RDs with insurances and patients, when he was an MBA student at Harvard Business School in 2021. About a year into his effort, which Faycurry initially bootstrapped, he asked Mark Stefanski to join him as a CTO. On Wednesday, Fay emerged from stealth after quietly raising $25 million from General Catalyst and Forerunner Ventures, with participation from 1984 and the founders of Grow Therapy and Maven Clinic.Fay offers RDs a franchise model that has gained popularity among certain types of healthcare providers in recent years. The so-called business-in-box gives practitioners, such as dietitians and therapists, the tools for running their practices, including filing claims with insurance, receiving payments and being matched with patients.“Insurance companies love it because their patients are getting healthier. And the dietitians love it because they can make almost five to eight times more money as independent practitioners with our platform than they earn in a hospital,” Faycurry told TechCrunch
