Pulse, a Web3 healthtech startup reshaping how people manage and benefit from their health data, has raised $400,000 in a three-minute fundraising window on Echo, the investment platform for the token economy.
Pulse is on a mission to create digital twins – secure, virtual profiles that resolve the healthcare trilemma of balancing privacy, personalization, and prevention, all while giving users complete control over their health data.
Pulse’s digital twin technology aggregates data from wearables, electronic health records, and diagnostics into a comprehensive, unified health profile. Using privacy-first tech, Pulse empowers users to securely share this data with trusted partners, such as researchers or healthcare providers, on their terms – unlocking actionable health insights that improve wellness and drive medical research forward.
The Pulse wearable, integrated with the platform, tracks essential health metrics like heart rate variability, sleep patterns, and blood oxygen levels across 50+ activities. This real-time data fuels AI-powered, personalized insights that help users make informed choices for better health. By choosing to share this information with third parties under strict consent protocols, users can actively contribute to clinical research and earn rewards for their contributions.
The quickfire $400,000 raise comes just weeks after Pulse announced its $1.8 million pre-seed round, co-led by Collab+Currency and Lemniscap, with participation from Delphi Digital and Lattice Fund, as well as renowned angel investors, including Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko and Santiago R Santos.
Since its beta launch in April 2024, investment platform Echo has facilitated over $30 million in funding for new projects and startups, including Monad, Ethena and Sphere. Pulse’s $400,000 raise was one of the fastest to date on the Echo platform, which hosts private funding rounds that enable lead investors to form groups for shared investment opportunities, which are conducted entirely on-chain using USDC.
Pulse also recently raised an additional $100,000 on the merit-based crypto fundraising platform Legion, in a round which was oversubscribed by 8x.
River Tamoor Baig, CEO of Pulse said: “Only three weeks after announcing our $1.8 million pre-seed round, we are very proud to secure an additional $400k in funding, onboarding over 100 quality investors through the Comfy Capital Group. We were blown away by the speed of the raise, which demonstrates strong investor conviction in our mission to transform how people manage and benefit from their health data.”
A Comfy Capital founder said: “We are seeing huge demand for health-centric data solutions right now, opening up unique investment opportunities for scalable platforms leveraging the crypto incentive flywheel. We are excited to back innovation at the intersection of healthtech and privacy, and look forward to supporting the Pulse team on their upcoming roadmap.”
