Performance Kitchen | Food Is Medicine®
Performance Kitchen | Food Is Medicine® is an Austin, Texas company that produces chef-crafted, dietitian-approved Medically Tailored Meals designed to help manage chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and renal disease. Founded in 2011 as a healthy consumer food brand sold in more than 10,000 retail stores, the company pivoted to lead the Food Is Medicine movement, delivering ready-to-eat meals that are increasingly paid for by health insurers and delivered directly to members' homes. Led by Chairman and CEO Mark Walker, a CPA and founder of athlete-backed Dugout Ventures, Performance Kitchen operates nationwide production and distribution reaching roughly 98% of the U.S.
EatWell Meal Kits
EatWell is a Boston-based social-impact startup that turns meal kits into a healthcare intervention. Founded by Harvard School of Public Health students, it produces prescription meal kits - fresh ingredients plus fast, culturally relevant recipes designed by a Michelin-trained chef - that healthcare providers and insurers prescribe to patients facing food insecurity and chronic disease. Kits are made in Dorchester at CommonWealth Kitchen by production staff hired from the communities EatWell serves, and are reimbursed through MassHealth ACO Flexible Services and health-system partnerships under the growing 'Food is Medicine' model.
Daniel Wexler
Daniel Wexler is the co-founder and CEO of EatWell, a Boston public-benefit startup that turns dinner into a doctor's prescription. He maps food deserts the way logistics planners map warehouses, then ships affordable one-pot meal kits into the neighborhoods that grocery chains forgot. Trained in public health and behavioral economics at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Wexler reframed groceries as a 'Food is Medicine' tool that health insurers can prescribe to fight food insecurity and prevent diet-related disease while lowering healthcare spend.
evermore
evermore (formerly Soda Health) is a healthcare technology company that administers Smart Benefits, connecting people to the products and services they need - healthy food, OTC medications, transportation and more - when they need them. Its Smart Benefits Operating System adjudicates purchases at the item level in real time across more than 70,000 retail locations, helping Medicare Advantage, Medicaid and commercial payers manage supplemental benefits, close care gaps and improve outcomes. The company rebranded from Soda Health to evermore in October 2025 after closing an oversubscribed $50M Series B led by General Catalyst.
Robby Knight
Robby Knight is the co-founder and CEO of evermore (formerly Soda Health), a healthtech company that turns supplemental health benefits into a Smart Benefits platform connecting Medicare Advantage members, health plans, and retailers like CVS, Walgreens, and Kroger. A social worker by training who spent nearly eight years architecting consumer health at Walmart, Knight built the company on a simple frustration: people's first-order needs (food, OTC medicine, transportation) were being met through a patchwork of inefficient programs. evermore has raised roughly $100 million, including a $50M Series B led by General Catalyst in December 2024.
