Tally Health – a consumer biotechnology company focused on changing the way we age – has announced a $10 million seed round of funding. Tally Health’s proprietary and science-based tools are aiming to improve healthspan and extend longevity at the cellular level with TallyAge epigenetic age tests, personalized lifestyle recommendations, and research-backed longevity supplements.
Tally Health – which had launched in late February – was co-founded by Dr. David Sinclair, who is known as one of the world’s foremost experts on aging and human longevity, and L Catterton Partner and serial entrepreneur Whitney Casey. This seed round of funding was led by Forerunner Ventures with additional participation by L Catterton, which incubated and initially backed the company, plus G9 Ventures and Second Sight Ventures.
In conjunction with the investment, Kirsten Green, Founding Partner of Forerunner Ventures, will join the Tally Health Board of Directors – which with Kirsten’s addition will be a majority female board. And celebrities including John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, Pedro Pascal, Shonda Rhimes, Kevin Hart, Rich Roll, Whitney Cummings, and Zac Efron have individually invested in the company.
The new funding round will support Tally Health as they expand research and development of new products, additional features, and technology integrations to enable users to seamlessly integrate their TallyAge feedback into their daily lifestyle through the digital member experience. And the funds will also be allocated toward various technical, business, and strategic development efforts as the company scales.
