US-based primary healthcare services startup Parsley Health has closed a $10m series A round backed by over-the-top media company Chernin Group.
FirstMark Capital led the round, which also featured fellow venture capital firms Amplo and Combine, as well as VC fund Trail Mix Ventures and angel investors Mark Hyman, Nat Turner, Neil Parikh and Dave Gilboa.
Parsley Health offers a subscription-based product that provides each user with a personalised healthcare plan that combines lifestyle and nutrition advice with prescription medication, biomarker testing and specialist services such as acupuncture.
Patients pay a monthly fee and receive 10 medical consultations a year, either face-to-face or remotely, over the telephone or through video calls or telemedicine devices.
Parsley will use the series A capital for recruitment as it prepares to expand its digital services and build more brick-and-mortar clinics.
The company had raised almost $1.5m in debt financing across rounds in 2016 and 2017 according to securities filings. Its earlier investors include Arkitekt Ventures, Nexus Venture Partners and FJ Labs.
