Nourish
Nourish matches patients with insurance-covered dietitians for nutrition and chronic disease care.
Nourish leads on network size and payer reach, but Fay and Berry Street are matching its model and gaining a distribution edge through Amazon that Nourish currently lacks.
Nourish hires registered dietitians to deliver personalized nutrition coaching to patients covered by health insurance plans and hospital systems. It is hard to copy quickly because it requires hiring and training thousands of licensed dietitians, securing contracts with insurance companies and hospitals, and navigating medical billing rules, which takes time and money. However, two similar competitors called Fay and Berry Street raised the same amount of funding recently and got placed on Amazon's health benefits marketplace, where employers shop for employee health programs, while Nourish did not make that cut. If Amazon's marketplace becomes where most employers buy health services, Nourish's direct deals with insurance companies may matter less, and the race could shift in favor of whoever has the best shelf space there.
Nourish's May 2026 physician plus GLP-1 prescribing launch clears its waitlist without regulatory setbacks. Would show Nourish executing its next growth phase versus stalling under scrutiny.
Any payer publicly narrows or drops nutrition or GLP-1 support reimbursement. Would show the payer-contracting moat weakening industry-wide.
- $100M Series C at $1.75B valuation
- RD network grew to 10,000+ dietitians
- Payer contracts cover 200M+ lives
- Excluded from Amazon Health Benefits Connector while Fay and Berry Street secured placement.
- May 2026 GLP-1 physician prescribing launch is waitlisted and faces regulatory scrutiny of virtual prescribing.
- 2025 profitability claim is company-stated and unaudited, not third-party verified.
- Any payer reimbursement policy shift on nutrition or GLP-1 support would directly hit business model.

- Is Nourish profitable in 2026?
- CEO Aidan Dewar said Nourish became profitable in 2025, a claim made public alongside its May 19, 2026 Series C announcement. No audited financials have been released to confirm this independently, but it was cited as a factor supporting the $1.75B valuation from Menlo Ventures.
- How much funding has Nourish raised?
- Nourish has raised $215M total as of May 19, 2026, including a $100M Series C at a $1.75B valuation led by Menlo Ventures. Prior rounds included a $70M Series B (April 2025) and $35M Series A (March 2024).
- Who is Nourish's biggest competitor?
- Fay and Berry Street are Nourish's closest rivals, both running the same insurance-covered telenutrition model. Both raised $50M in 2025 and, unlike Nourish, secured placement on Amazon's Health Benefits Connector, an employer-distribution channel Nourish lacked as of May 2026.
- Could AI replace Nourish's dietitians?
- Not the core service. Nourish's model depends on licensed Registered Dietitians and, since 2026, physicians billing insurance directly, a regulated clinical role AI cannot substitute for. Nourish does use AI for admin tasks and coaching support, reaching hundreds of thousands of monthly active users as of May 2026.
- Who owns Nourish?
- Nourish is privately held and venture-backed, with no acquisition or ownership change reported. Its Series C, closed May 19, 2026, was led by Menlo Ventures, whose partner J.P. Sanday joined the board; prior investors include Index Ventures, J.P. Morgan Growth Equity Partners, and Thrive Capital.
- What is Nourish's valuation in 2026?
- Nourish was valued at $1.75B following its $100M Series C round, announced May 19, 2026 and led by Menlo Ventures. This is up from a valuation reported as 'over $1B' at its April 2025 Series B.
