Kilo Health Turns Kilo™ – a bigger vision and more investment in startups
Kilo Health, a healthtech creator and investor, is expanding beyond health as it transforms into Kilo – marking a new ambition to accelerate startup growth through increased investment and its internal business development ecosystem, Kiloverse.
Žygimantas Surintas, who joined the company a year and a half ago, remains the head of the Kilo group of companies. According to him, Kilo and Kiloverse will separate investment activities from day-to-day operations – a natural step that reflects the company’s growing maturity and long-term strategy for sustainable growth.
“Over the past twelve years, we have created numerous health and wellness solutions – from digital apps to physical products that help millions of consumers around the world live healthier, better quality lives. We are also developing products in other areas including beauty and personal development. Now our goal is not only to create ourselves, but also to invest more actively in startups, helping them to develop global businesses better and faster,” says the CEO of Kilo.
