Reminder: Seeing a dietitian through Fay (covered by your insurance) goes beyond weight management. Many clients completely change their life by redefining their relationship with food 💕 🍕 💕 🍕 Pizza is not good. Pizza is not bad. Pizza is…well it’s just pizza!

Fay is emerging from stealth today with $25M in funding, including a $20M series A led by our Partner Nicole Johnson. Fay's platform enables consumers to access registered dietitians at little to no cost through insurance, while empowering an overlooked, lesser-served sector of healthcare providers — registered dietitians — to build and scale their personal businesses on their own terms. This digital franchise model for nutritionists is proving to be especially impactful: Fay has achieve tremendous growth in a relatively short period of time and is seeing immediate resonance with its customers. We're proud to partner with Fay amid a time when nutrition is at the crux of many of the most pressing health, culture, and public interest conversations: https://lnkd.in/gVBzdXda

The secret is out. Working with the Fay team (Sam Faycurry Mark Stefanski) for some time has been a joy as they tackle the broken relationship we have with food. Nutrition is one of the areas of healthcare that is truly horizontal and there is a significant amount of work to be done to ensure people of all demographics get what they need. A core pillar of #healthassurance. Delighted to work with our friends at Forerunner on this problem space Cc Reva Nohria Nicole Johnson Chris Bischoff Hemant Taneja Elena Viboch

We’re thrilled to officially welcome Sam Faycurry, Mark Stefanski, and the entire Fay team to the GC family! "Nutrition is a core part of our Health Assurance thesis given the vast surface area it touches. So many people have broken relationships with food, which can often result in expensive health complications, and nutrition is often a critical component of chronic care management and recovery. Fay has grown rapidly to build a strong value proposition for both dietitians and patients, and we're excited to continue to support the team as they scale their mission to help people better eat and live longer." -GC’s Holly Maloney More from TechCrunch ↓

I first met Sam on a hike at school, where we nerded out over the future of food. I'm so proud to finally announce our partnership with him, Mark, and the rest of the Fay team. They've already changed thousands of lives, and we can't wait for this next phase of their journey alongside our good friends at Forerunner! cc Holly Maloney Chris Bischoff Hemant Taneja Elena Viboch

Fay is emerging from stealth this week with $25M funding— and tremendous early momentum and resonance with its audiences. Fay comes at a time when America is clearly at a critical moment with nutrition across health, public interest and culture, as mounting evidence points to nutrition as the foundation for the majority of personal health concerns and chronic illnesses. The platform enables consumers to access registered dietitians (RDs) at little to no cost through insurance while empowering an overlooked, lesser-served sector of healthcare providers–RDs–to build their personal businesses on their own terms. Sam Faycurry, Mark Stefanski and the entire Fay team are a force — the initial market reception speaks for itself. Very proud to partner with this company (and Holly Maloney & General Catalyst) as they reshape Americans’ relationship to nutrition and restructure how RDs scale their practices through a unique digital franchise model. https://lnkd.in/gPJC4cva
