Summary
The startup has been co-founded by Ismaël Emelien, former special advisor to Emmanuel Macron during the early days of its presidency, and Paul Dupuy, who previously worked on Workwell.Before I tell you more about the product and vision, it’s also worth noting that the company has raised an impressive seed round of $23 million (€20 million) from business angels exclusively.Zoi is a healthcare startup that focuses on preventive care. Once you start your subscription and become a member, the startup will send you an invite to tell you that it’s time to visit a Zoi health center. When you compare the richest 5% of women and poorest 5% of women, the gap is smaller but there’s still an 8-year difference in life expectancy.Second, while the startup relies heavily on nudge, Zoi isn’t going be an easy sell for people who don’t live in Paris near Zoi’s inaugural center.
