Molecular You raises $5 million to expand predictive health

Molecular You has raised $5 million in Series A financing led by Voloridge Health, with participation from Dynamic Leap and other investors.

The financing will support the expansion of Molecular You's customer base across North America and help to advance the company's predictive health platform, which uses a single blood test to analyse more than 250 biomarkers.

Single blood test approach

Molecular You's platform measures biomarkers across all major biological systems, offering insights into over 25 health areas through a single blood sample. The company's approach allows for the identification of potential health risks at their root cause by analysing deep biological pathways, rather than relying on symptom-based diagnostics that often require numerous individual tests and blood draws.

The test generates a comprehensive full-body health snapshot and includes personalised, actionable lifestyle recommendations designed to facilitate preventative lifestyle changes before the onset of disease symptoms.

The company's approach differs from traditional diagnostics taken after the appearance of symptoms, offering a more comprehensive and preventive alternative for patients and clinicians alike.

Platform advances

Molecular You's journey to this funding round followed several milestones. The platform has launched nationwide in Canada and the United States, becoming available through both clinical practices and direct-to-consumer channels. A partnership with HealthQuest Esoterics has enabled Molecular You's current assay to be conducted as a Lab Developed Test (LDT), which expands accessibility by qualifying the assay for reimbursement.

The company also plans to introduce a next-generation multi-omic assay that will measure over 800 biomarkers, broadening the platform's capability to additional areas, including the detection of certain cancers.

"We plan to use this capital to grow our customer base across both consumer and clinical channels in North America, while also continuing to expand the platform's analysis and predictive capabilities," said Jim Kean, CEO of Molecular You, who has decades of expertise pioneering within the health testing space, including previously founding WellnessFX and architecting the technology underlying WebMD's consumer platform.

Dr. Murdoc Khaleghi, Chief Medical Officer at Molecular You, commented on the importance of a holistic measurement strategy in predictive medicine.

"We're bringing scientific discipline and clinical-grade rigor to the booming consumer wellness sector and delivering brand new tools to enhance what clinical practices can provide," said Dr. Murdoc Khaleghi. "Fragmented measurement of individual biomarkers cannot offer the same predictive capabilities as our platform, which sees the body as a whole. This is critical for predictive and preventative medicine, particularly for complex conditions like Alzheimer's, PCOS, and autoimmune diseases, which are correlated to multiple individual biomarkers that are typically measured separately."

Clinical outcomes and market trends

Molecular You highlighted a case in which its platform enabled the prediction and rare early detection of stage 1 pancreatic cancer in an asymptomatic patient. Early intervention in this case allowed for surgery without additional treatment, and the patient remains in good health. The company positions this case as evidence of the platform's potential impact on early disease detection and prevention.

Data from Longevity Technology reported that investment in the longevity sector doubled between 2023 and 2024, reaching $8.5 billion, indicating growing interest in preventative and precision health solutions.

David Vogel, CEO of Voloridge Health, commented on the company's decision to invest in Molecular You.

"Molecular You is advancing a critical shift in healthcare, from reactive treatment to predictive and preventive care, through biomarker science and real-world clinical impact," said David Vogel, CEO of Voloridge Health. "Their unique multi-omic platform integrates proteomics and metabolomics in a way that sets a new standard for precision health. This aligns with our mission to leverage data science for better health outcomes, and we believe Molecular You is well-positioned to transform how individuals and providers detect and manage disease risk at scale."

The proceeds from the Series A financing will be directed at increasing adoption in both consumer and clinical segments as well as enabling further research and development into expanded biomarker analysis and predictive capabilities for the company's health platform.
