Selvera, a clinically-based and technology-enabled weight management program, announced today that it recently secured approximately $1 million in its second round of fundraising. The round is led by Stonehenge Growth Equity Innovate NY Fund, L.P., along with other new and existing investors.

'Selvera is an attractive opportunity for Stonehenge given our focus on businesses at the intersection of healthcare and technology. Selvera leverages clinical expertise and evidence-based methods to solve an enormous healthcare problem and is delivered conveniently and cost-effectively through the application of technology'

Leveraging its proprietary wireless monitoring platform and a unique behavioral counseling protocol, Selvera was founded to help people make lasting lifestyle and habit changes that enable weight loss and long-term maintenance. The evidence-based weight loss program incorporates three key factors: counseling, technology, and meals. The program pairs each client with a dedicated Registered Dietitian and offers convenient weekly video and telephonic counseling sessions. Selvera's technology platform allows dietitians to remotely monitor progress and proactively intervene. Selvera also offers a curated line of delicious and healthy meals delivered right to each client's door. Using a proprietary cognitive behavioral therapy protocol, the program guides participants through all three phases of successful weight management: weight loss, transitioning to a healthy lifestyle, and lifetime preservation.

'We are thrilled to welcome Stonehenge to the Selvera team. Their support, coupled with additional investment from our other new and existing investors, will enable Selvera to improve both the delivery and user experience of the program, as well as expand our consumer client base to help more people achieve and maintain a healthy weight,' said Andrew Zengilowski, CEO of Selvera. 'This investment will also enable us to bolster our corporate program, which provides Selvera's clinically-based weight management approach through employers and insurers as a way to reduce healthcare and lost productivity costs today and in the future,' added Selvera President Wes Haydon.

'Selvera is an attractive opportunity for Stonehenge given our focus on businesses at the intersection of healthcare and technology. Selvera leverages clinical expertise and evidence-based methods to solve an enormous healthcare problem and is delivered conveniently and cost-effectively through the application of technology,' said Brian Model, Managing Partner of Stonehenge Growth Equity Partners.
