Swedish health tech innovator Yazen has just secured a €19.5M Series A, led by Evli Growth Partners and Helsana HealthInvest, with support from Almaz Capital, Yabeo, Luminar Ventures, and Aggregate Media. Founded in 2021 by healthcare experts from Min Doktor, Yazen provides a digital service that combines GLP-1 weight-loss and diabetes medications with personalized lifestyle guidance. With 20K active users who’ve collectively lost over 200 tons of weight, Yazen is already making a significant impact. This new funding fuels Yazen’s international expansion, with soft launches in the Netherlands, Norway, and Spain, plus pilot projects in the UK and Germany. Rather than opening new offices, Yazen employs healthcare professionals with dual certifications, reducing operational costs and enhancing scalability. As CEO and co-founder Fredrik Meurling highlights, this model supports expansion across Europe and lets Yazen scale its impact responsibly. Currently profitable in Sweden with €18M in annual recurring revenue, Yazen is paving the way as a European leader in GLP-1 treatment pathways, even as supply chain challenges persist. While GLP-1 drug demand has caused shortages, Meurling believes these issues will ease over time, especially as the urgency around global obesity — now affecting a billion people — continues to grow. For Yazen, the potential is clear. Meurling envisions a future with new payers, from corporate clients to public funders, recognizing the value of holistic, digitally-driven obesity treatment. Yazen’s commitment to combining medical treatment with lifestyle coaching positions it as a unicorn in the making, poised to redefine the obesity treatment landscape in Europe and beyond. https://lnkd.in/fzpnPPW #healthtech #digitalhealth #obesitytreatment #startupfunding #europeanstartups #healthcareinnovation #telemedicine #weightloss #medtech #healthcare #innovation #patientcare #healthstartups #healthinvestment #globalhealth #weightmanagement #obesitycare #digitaltransformation #healthsolutions #telehealth #medicalinnovation #chronicdisease #healthrevolution #healthcarestartups Yazen Health

Our President and General Manager, Christopher Stokes, spoke at this year’s Financial Times Global Pharma and Biotech Summit discussing the balance between access and innovation. He emphasised the need for a joined up, ecosystem approach to life sciences, and to evaluate the full social and economic value of medicines. Chris said, “The relationship between incentivising innovation and supporting access is often portrayed as a zero-sum game, but it doesn't have to be. Policies can be designed to encourage both. We need to acknowledge and address the true value that medicines bring to society as a whole. And our industry has an obligation to come to the table with information and evidence that supports this value.” As an industry, we know the pressures the healthcare system is facing, and we want to be part of the solution. Partnerships with industry are an important aspect of that. Through working in partnership, we hope to not only incentivise innovation and support equitable access but address the true impact of diseases on patients, their families, and the economy. #WeAreLillyUKandIreland
