Fay, a digital nutritional therapy provider, has announced a $50 million Series B funding round led by Goldman Sachs, with participation from existing investors General Catalyst and Forerunner. The investment values the company at $500 million and brings Fay's total funding to $75 million as it works to expand access to personalized nutrition counselling.
The company's platform connects patients with insurance-covered Registered Dietitians (RDs) who provide tailored nutrition and lifestyle guidance. At the core of Fay's approach is an AI-powered system that enhances the capabilities of dietitians while streamlining administrative tasks, allowing them to focus more on patient care.
With over half of American adults facing diet-related chronic conditions, Fay's service addresses a critical healthcare need. The company has built a nationwide network of more than 2,300 registered dietitians who can provide virtual consultations to clients regardless of location. By partnering with major insurance providers, Fay is working to make nutritional therapy more financially accessible to those who need it.
"Our AI-driven platform gives dietitians 'superpowers,' automating burdens like insurance claims, scheduling, and patient follow-ups so they can focus on providing intimate and thoughtful care," says Sammy Faycurry, Co-Founder and CEO. "By analyzing vast amounts of information, our platform helps dietitians craft more precise, personalized journeys for their clients, including supplement recommendations, hyper-curated shopping carts, and lab analyses to drive prevention initiatives for employers and insurers."
The platform's AI capabilities assist dietitians in creating more effective and individualized treatment plans while handling time-consuming administrative work. This technology-enabled approach allows for scalable care delivery without sacrificing personalization or quality.
Fay plans to use the new capital to accelerate growth initiatives, further develop its technology platform, and expand its suite of services. The funding comes at a time when preventive healthcare and lifestyle interventions are gaining recognition for their role in managing chronic conditions and reducing long-term healthcare costs.
As digital health solutions continue to evolve, Fay's model represents a growing trend of combining human expertise with advanced technology to address widespread health challenges. The company's focus on making nutritional therapy both more effective and more accessible positions it at the intersection of healthcare innovation and consumer wellness.
