NYC's Hottest Booking: A $499 Health Scan

Neko Health, a health-tech startup co-founded by Spotify's Daniel Ek, is experiencing unprecedented demand for its services in New York City. The company's first US clinic, located in SoHo, has amassed a waitlist of over 50,000 people since its opening on September 24. This surge in interest has prompted plans for a second clinic at Brookfield Place in Battery Park, Brooklyn, set to open in January 2027.

The Neko Health experience offers a one-hour, non-invasive, radiation-free assessment of cardiovascular, metabolic, and other bodily functions. Results are reviewed with a physician, aiming to make preventive healthcare more accessible. The startup, which already operates clinics in Sweden and the UK, has attracted high-profile investors and clientele, including celebrities, athletes, and business moguls.

Following a substantial $700 million funding round in July, Neko Health's valuation is reportedly close to $7 billion. The expansion to Brookfield Place will feature increased capacity to meet the growing demand from New Yorkers eager to understand and manage their health proactively.
