Bangalore-based CureFit Healthcare Pvt Ltd, which operates health and fitness platform CureFit, has secured $3 million (Rs 19.2 crore) in a fresh round of funding from UC-RNT Fund, a joint venture between Ratan Tata’s RNT Associates and the University of California.
Other investors who participated in the round include Gokul Rajaram, product engineering lead at US-based mobile point of sale provider Square; Aditya Agarwal and Ruchi Sanghvi, vice presidents of engineering and operations, respectively, at file sharing application firm Dropbox; and Shishir Mehrotra, former vice president of product, engineering and UX at YouTube.
The new round of funding will take the total capital raised by CureFit to $18 million. In July last year, it had raised $15 million in Series A funding from Accel Partners, IDG Ventures and Kalaari Capital. This makes it one of the best-funded early-stage startups in the healthcare and fitness space in India.
CureFit aims to address preventive healthcare through a combination of engagement, coaching and delivery using a mix of online and offline channels.
