Yazen raises €50m led by Verdane for weight-loss platform
Yazen, a European weight-loss startup, has raised €50 million in a funding round led by Verdane, Sifted reported. The round marks one of the largest recent investments in a digital health platform focused on obesity and metabolic health outside the U.S.
The company’s model may differ from trends observed elsewhere, such as the female-driven demand in India’s Tier-II cities highlighted in StartupReader’s recent coverage. However, details about Yazen’s specific approach or target demographic remain limited.
Verdane’s involvement could reflect broader investor interest in healthtech, though market conditions for consumer wellness apps have shifted. The funding may support Yazen’s expansion in Europe, where digital health regulations continue to evolve.
No other investors were named in the report. StartupReader has no prior listing for Yazen.
