Investment seen as further validation of the corporate nutrition benefit market and its ability to manage workforce health and costs.
LISBON, Portugal, Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Nutrium, an all-in-one corporate nutrition solution that helps millions of patients worldwide create personalized meal plans, track progress, manage chronic diseases, maintain weight, and lead healthier lives overall, announced today it secured $12 million in Series A funding. Vesalius Biocapital led the round; Lince Capital, Indico Capital Partners, and Beta Capital also participated. While the Nutrium platform already reaches millions of patients, connecting them to the world’s largest network of more than 350,000 registered dietitians in over 90 countries, this investment further solidifies the company’s global position in the corporate nutrition market.
The timing of the capital infusion is especially notable as soaring healthcare costs driven by obesity and the growing demand for GLP-1 medications make sustainable, expert-led non-pharmaceutical wellness solutions that improve health outcomes essential for employers and executives.
“Nutrition has become a business priority for companies navigating the challenges of obesity and the rapid adoption of GLP-1 treatments,” said André Santos, CEO and co-founder of Nutrium. “With this funding, we’re ready to expand our reach, strengthen our expert network, and deliver even greater outcomes for our clients and their people worldwide.”
As Nutrium’s clinically grounded corporate nutrition benefit, Nutrium Care delivers measurable financial and health outcomes that directly address rising corporate healthcare costs. On average, corporate partners see three times the return on their investment, with a five percent reduction in member weight in the first four months, reduced prescription medication needs, and increased employee productivity. Additionally, the program is a fraction of the cost of GLP-1 medication and has significantly higher retention and adherence rates. Though impressive, Nutrium’s remarkable 400% revenue growth last year is what caught the eye of its latest investor.
“At Vesalius, we are increasingly aware of the challenges associated with obesity and the need for better nutrition care, which is often overlooked as a key solution for such chronic conditions. We believe that Nutrium will be the solution of choice for employers and individuals that would like to improve their overall health.” said Qasim Al-Zawawi, Principal at Vesalius Biocapital. “We are impressed by the growth and achievements accomplished by Nutrium, and are thrilled to be leading the Series A, supporting the Nutrium team in their goal of making the world healthier.”
Stephan de Moraes, Managing General Partner at the independent venture capital fund manager, Indico Capital Partners, also shared his enthusiasm about the funding round and the company’s promise. “Since the start, the team at Nutrium had a clear vision about the key role that nutrition would play in health and wellbeing. We have been fortunate to back that ambition and help the team find a path to fulfill the promise of wellbeing, a key component of longevity, which is a huge and rapidly expanding market.”
Building on its track record with leading global brands such as Wellhub, Adidas, Vodafone, Talkspace, and several others, Nutrium expects to strengthen its U.S. operations and forge more strategic alliances with health plans and consultants to scale nutrition care even faster.
