The company has raised a $10 million Series A from General Catalyst to scale its AI health companion, which unifies data from wearables and daily habits across sleep, fitness, and nutrition into personalized insights.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The investment follows a breakout year for the two-year-old health tech company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bevel says it has grown more than eightfold within the past year and now reaches over 100,000 daily active users, making it one of the fastest-growing health apps in the U.S. Additionally, the company says the average user opens the app eight times per day, and retention remains above 80% at 90 days \u2014 rare metrics in a category where people often churn after reaching a short-term fitness goal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe think of health as a continuous journey, not a phase,\u201d said co-founder and CEO <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/nguyengrey\" target=\"_blank\">Grey Nguyen<\/a> in an interview with TechCrunch. \u201cBevel meets you where you are, learns from your habits, and helps you make small changes that compound over time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But with so many health companion brands, from <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/09\/30\/whoop-opens-its-blood-testing-service-to-350000-on-wait-list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Whoop<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/10\/14\/smart-ring-maker-oura-raises-900m-from-fidelity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Oura<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/08\/19\/eight-sleep-grabs-100m-to-bring-ai-into-your-bed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eight Sleep<\/a>, why does the world need another one?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/adityaagarwal3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Aditya Agarwal<\/a>, a Bevel co-founder and board member who is also a partner at venture firm South Park Commons, many of these health apps rely on accompanying hardware devices that customers must buy and maintain. Because such devices can be pricey, there\u2019s an opportunity to create a product that\u2019s purely software-based, giving people the flexibility to use the wearables they already own.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-techcrunch-inline-cta\">\n<div class=\"inline-cta__wrapper\">\n<p>Techcrunch event<\/p>\n<div class=\"inline-cta__content\">\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-cta__location\">San Francisco<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-cta__separator\">|<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-cta__date\">October 27-29, 2025<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA $500 ring or band is out of reach for a lot of people,\u201d said Agarwal. \u201c[People] already generate so much valuable health data from our primary wearables and other everyday sources. We wanted to make something that was more accessible across a much larger set of people.\u201d Bevel users pay $6 monthly or $50 annually.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike typical wellness apps that focus on a single area \u2014 such as steps, sleep, or nutrition \u2014 Bevel combines them into one experience. It integrates with Apple Watch and other popular wearables through Apple Health and directly syncs with continuous glucose monitors like Dexcom and Libre. Garmin and additional integrations are in development, the company said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All this information feeds into Bevel Intelligence, the company\u2019s core software, which analyzes and adapts recommendations to each user, learning how their body responds to stress, movement, or nutrition.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"340\" width=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_2448.jpeg?w=680\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3063834\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_2448.jpeg 3200w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_2448.jpeg?resize=150,75 150w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_2448.jpeg?resize=300,150 300w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_2448.jpeg?resize=768,384 768w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_2448.jpeg?resize=680,340 680w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_2448.jpeg?resize=1200,600 1200w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_2448.jpeg?resize=1280,640 1280w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_2448.jpeg?resize=430,215 430w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_2448.jpeg?resize=720,360 720w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_2448.jpeg?resize=900,450 900w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_2448.jpeg?resize=800,400 800w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_2448.jpeg?resize=1536,768 1536w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_2448.jpeg?resize=2048,1024 2048w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_2448.jpeg?resize=668,334 668w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_2448.jpeg?resize=1234,617 1234w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_2448.jpeg?resize=708,354 708w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_2448.jpeg?resize=50,25 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span class=\"wp-block-image__credits\"><strong>Image Credits:<\/strong>Bevel<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bevel\u2019s story started with pain \u2014 literally.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before starting the company in late 2023, Nguyen, who previously led products at Sam Altman\u2013backed Campus, and co-founder\/CTO <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/linkedin.com\/in\/benjyang\" target=\"_blank\">Ben Yang<\/a>, who worked on machine learning at Opendoor, were building stablecoin infrastructure for enterprises.\u00a0The demanding nature of startup life led Nguyen to neglect his health, and he developed chronic back pain that went undiagnosed for months despite using wearables and seeing doctors regularly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNothing pointed out what was actually causing my back pain, not even my doctors, which is crazy, right?\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s when this idea came up. Everyone\u2019s life is so nuanced. There are so many small things you do that stack on each other and, over time, create a chronic condition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nguyen says he began piecing together his health data, tracking sleep, nutrition, and steps, and realized that issues across these areas had compounded over time. Low mobility from sitting too long, sleep problems caused by his mattress setup, and sodium-heavy meals that increased inflammation all played a role.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, Agarwal, formerly CTO at Dropbox and an early engineer at Facebook, had gone through his own health overhaul after years of intense work left him burned out. What helped was logging his data manually \u2014 through spreadsheets and connected trackers \u2014 to rebuild his energy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When he connected with Yang and Nguyen about what they were building with Bevel, he saw they had a similar vision and joined the team as a co-founder and board member.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe shared the same North Star, which is helping people become more intelligent about their own health,\u201d said Agarwal, who is also a partner at South Park Commons. The venture capital firm, alongside General Catalyst, invested $4 million into Bevel earlier this year in a seed round.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With fresh capital and no plans to develop its own wearables, Bevel intends to grow its team and expand into additional health services and partnerships that make proactive health accessible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBevel\u2019s mission to democratize health through intelligence and design deeply resonates with us,\u201d said Neeraj Arora, managing director at General Catalyst. \u201cThe level of engagement they\u2019re seeing from users is remarkable, and it\u2019s become part of people\u2019s daily lives \u2014 not just another app\u201d that they download and forget.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/10\/30\/bevel-raises-10m-series-a-from-general-catalyst-for-its-ai-health-companion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most people tracking their health today end up with scattered clues.
