Today, many individuals monitoring their health find themselves with fragmented data. Their sleep duration is tracked by their smartwatch. A fitness application records steps. A nutrition app tracks calorie intake. However, few resources assist individuals in comprehending how these elements interconnect.
Bevel, a startup located in New York, posits that this represents the missing component in the transition toward preventative healthcare. The firm has secured $10 million in Series A funding from General Catalyst to expand its AI-driven health assistant, which consolidates data from wearables and everyday behaviors related to sleep, fitness, and diet to provide tailored insights.
This investment comes after a breakthrough year for the health tech company, which is two years old.
Bevel reports an over eightfold increase in growth over the past year, currently engaging over 100,000 daily active users, positioning it among the fastest-growing health applications in the U.S. The company also notes that users access the app an average of eight times daily, with a retention rate exceeding 80% after 90 days, figures that are uncommon in a field where users frequently disengage upon achieving short-term fitness objectives.
“We view health as an ongoing process, not a temporary state,” stated co-founder and CEO Grey Nguyen in a TechCrunch interview. “Bevel adapts to your current state, learns from your routines, and supports the implementation of incremental adjustments that accumulate over time.”
Given the abundance of health companion brands, ranging from Whoop to Oura to Eight Sleep, why is another one necessary?
According to co-founder and CTO Aditya Agarwal, many of these health apps are dependent on proprietary hardware that users are required to purchase and maintain. As these devices can be costly, there is an opportunity to develop a solely software-based product, thereby granting users the flexibility to utilize the wearables they already possess.

“A $500 ring or band is beyond the means of many,” said Agarwal. “We already accumulate a wealth of valuable health data from our existing wearables and other commonplace sources. We aimed to create a product that is more broadly accessible to a larger demographic.” Bevel’s subscription is priced at $6 per month or $50 per year.
In contrast to conventional wellness applications that emphasize a single aspect like steps, sleep, or nutrition, Bevel integrates these into a unified experience. It interfaces with Apple Watch and other prevalent wearables via Apple Health, and it directly synchronizes with continuous glucose monitors such as Dexcom and Libre. The company indicates that Garmin and additional integrations are currently under development.
All of this data is channeled into Bevel Intelligence, the company’s central software, which facilitates the analysis of critical data and modifies recommendations for each user, gaining insights into how their body responds to stress, activity, or diet.
Bevel’s genesis was rooted in discomfort — quite literally.
Prior to establishing the company in late 2023, Nguyen, who previously directed products at Campus, backed by Sam Altman, and co-founder/CTO Ben Yang, who specialized in machine learning at Opendoor, were developing stablecoin infrastructure for commercial entities. The demanding environment of startup life resulted in Nguyen neglecting his health, which led to chronic back pain that remained undiagnosed for several months, in spite of his use of wearables and regular consultations with physicians.
“Nothing could pinpoint the underlying cause of my back pain, not even my doctors, which is astonishing, isn’t it?” he remarked. “That’s when the concept emerged. Each person’s life is remarkably intricate. There are numerous subtle actions that accumulate and, over time, contribute to a persistent ailment.”
Nguyen recounts initiating the compilation of his health metrics, encompassing sleep, diet, and activity levels, and subsequently recognizing that issues throughout these domains had intensified progressively. Reduced mobility stemming from extended periods of sitting, sleep disturbances attributed to his bedding configuration, and sodium-rich diets that amplified inflammation all played a role.
Similarly, Agarwal, formerly CTO at Dropbox and a founding engineer at Facebook, underwent his own health transformation following years of demanding work that resulted in burnout. He found assistance by manually documenting his data using spreadsheets and connected trackers to restore his energy.
Upon connecting with Ben and Grey regarding their work with Bevel, he observed a shared vision and subsequently joined the team.
“We were aligned on the same overarching objective, which is to empower individuals to gain enhanced understanding of their personal health,” stated Agarwal, who also serves as a partner at South Park Commons. The venture capital firm, in conjunction with General Catalyst, channeled $4 million into Bevel earlier in the year.
With the availability of new funding and no intentions of entering the wearables market, Bevel intends to expand its workforce and broaden its scope into additional services and collaborations that facilitate accessible proactive healthcare.
“Bevel’s commitment to making health accessible through the use of intelligence and design deeply aligns with our values,” stated Neeraj Arora, managing director at General Catalyst. “The degree of user engagement they are experiencing is remarkable, and it has integrated into people’s routines—not just as another application. We are enthusiastic about supporting this team as they shape the future of individualized healthcare.”
