LiveSmart Raises £700,000 to Improve Employee Health

  • LiveSmart, a London-based startup that helps employees track and improve their health, has raised £700,000 in funding

  • The investment will be used to grow LiveSmart's B2B offering and bridge the gap to a Series A round later this year

  • Investors include Matt Merrick (formerly the managing director of Virgin Active Health Clubs) and Lawrence Mitchell (formerly global marketing director and global wellness lead at Reed Business Information)

  • LiveSmart combines employee health screening with health coaching, using data gleaned from various tests offered, as well as pulled in from other sources, such as fitness trackers, and uses this as the basis to encourage actual behavioral change

  • The startup also packages employee health data in aggregate so that employers can get an overall sense of the health of their workforce and make company-wide changes, if needed.
