Stance Health, a healthtech startup, has secured $1 million in its pre-seed funding round, led by Silicon Valley-based venture capital firm General Catalyst. Other investors include Antler, DeVC (backed by Z47), angel investors such as Sriharsha Majety and Nandan Reddy, and Onsurity co-founder Kulin Shah.
The funds will be used to expand its services in India, enhance its tech platform, and establish additional physical centres in Bengaluru and other cities.
Founded in 2024 by Rohit Arora and Ninad Karandikar, Stance specializes in musculoskeletal (MSK) care, addressing pain in muscles, bones, and joints. The startup offers a combination of in-person care at its centres and online recovery programs.
Having conducted over 12,000 sessions in just eight months since launching its first centre, Stance plans to open six more centres by December and expand to another city in the coming year.
Stance Health’s successful funding round and ambitious growth plans demonstrate strong investor confidence in its approach to musculoskeletal care. With a focus on blending in-person and online services, the startup is poised to expand its reach and impact in India. As it continues to grow, Stance aims to further revolutionize the MSK care space, providing accessible and effective solutions for those suffering from musculoskeletal issues.
