Berry Street
Berry Street is a New York-based digital health company that connects patients with registered dietitians for insurance-covered, virtual nutrition therapy while giving those dietitians an AI-enabled 'business-in-a-box' to run independent practices. Founded in 2023 by Noah Kotlove and Jesse Rose, the platform pairs a consumer marketplace - where most clients pay $0 out of pocket - with back-office tooling that handles insurance credentialing, claims, documentation and patient communication. It works with a network of more than 1,000 dietitians and 1,250-plus insurance plans, and raised a $50 million Series B in early 2025.

Midi Health
Midi Health is a national virtual care clinic built specifically for women in perimenopause, menopause, and the long midlife stretch that mainstream medicine has historically ignored.

Now valued above $1 billion after a $100M Series D in February 2026, Midi serves more than 230,000 patients across all 50 states.
