Attane Health
Food as medicine, delivered. Helping people eat their way to better health.
Attane Health helps people manage chronic health conditions through food. It delivers personalized groceries, one-on-one telehealth coaching, and the data healthcare partners need to measure outcomes, all built to reduce the cost of care and improve people's health. We are an investor in Attane, and the company first came to us through our Reconstruct Challenge, where it won both Phase 1 and Phase 2.
Why we invested
Health is one of the clearest measures of whether a person can flourish, and food is one of its most powerful levers. Yet for many people, especially those managing diabetes or other chronic conditions, eating well is hard: healthy food is expensive or out of reach, and the support to change habits is missing. The result is worse health and higher costs, borne most heavily by the people who can least afford them.
Attane treats food as medicine. It gives patients access to nutritious, culturally relevant groceries, pairs that with real coaching and education, and gives providers the data to see what is working. That combination of access and agency, the food itself plus the support to use it well, is exactly what we look for. It meets a basic human need in a way that builds dignity rather than dependence.
From the Reconstruct Challenge to our portfolio
Attane is a homegrown example of our innovation work paying off. Through the Reconstruct Challenge, our health-equity and food-justice innovation initiative, we help founders test and prove ideas that improve health and access in real communities. Attane won Phase 1, proved its model, won again in Phase 2, and grew into a company worth backing directly. That progression, from a promising idea to a funded, scaling business, is the whole point of the Challenge.
What Attane does
Personalized food: more than 1,500 nutrient-dense, brand-name grocery products, searchable by dietary needs and cultural preferences, delivered to a person's home.
Educational support: intelligently matched one-on-one telecoaching, plus content and ongoing support that help patients make healthy choices.
A data-driven approach: analytics that let providers and payers measure outcomes and improve each person's path to better health.
Attane partners with hospital systems, health plans, employers, and community organizations that want to improve outcomes and lower costs for the people they serve.
Why it matters to us
Attane sits right where several of our convictions meet: health, dignity, and access. It turns something as everyday as groceries into a tool for better living, and it reaches people the healthcare system too often overlooks. Backing it, and helping launch it through the Reconstruct Challenge, is one of the ways we invest in a healthier, more equitable community.
