NEW YORK – October 30, 2018 – NFP Ventures, the early-stage investment arm of NFP, today announced a minority investment in Wellth, a promising behavioral economics startup. The investment will support Wellth’s mission to improve Rx adherence and health outcomes for high risk individuals living with chronic conditions. The transaction closed on Aug. 13, 2018.
Wellth, founded in Brooklyn, New York, is devoted to helping chronic disease patients change their behaviors to improve their health. The startup focuses on lowering costs for the highest risk populations by administering incentives as individuals comply with prescription regimens, driving sustained behavioral change. By improving long-term adherence to care plans, Wellth’s goal is to drive down hospitalization, readmissions and complications to produce meaningful cost savings for customers. The investment dovetails with NFP’s mission to stimulate emerging innovations in the Insurtech, Fintech and HR Tech spaces to remain on the forefront of innovative client solutions and meet evolving customer needs.
"We are very excited to partner with Wellth through our Venture Fund," says Mike Goldman, President and COO of NFP. "Wellth’s mission to improve the effectiveness of treatment for chronic disease patients matches very well with our goal as advisors to improve our clients’ health care experience in a cost effective manner. We look forward to working with the team at Wellth to introduce their solution to our clients."
"We are thrilled to work more closely with NFP, drawing on their years of experience in the health care, insurance and benefits space," said Matt Loper, Wellth CEO and co-founder. "Their support will be critical in expanding our platform to continue to provide a meaningful impact for patients and their families."
