What Kilo Health does

Kilo Health is a Vilnius-headquartered digital health and wellness venture studio that co-founds and accelerates consumer-facing companies from pre-seed to Series A in the health, wellness, beauty, and travel sectors. The company combines capital, a shared operational backbone branded 'Kiloverse,' and category expertise to build ventures with founders and scale them globally. Its own portfolio of wholly-owned brands includes Pulsetto, a hardware-and-app vagus nerve stimulator using nVNS technology for sleep and stress relief; a professional haircare line for hair growth; probiotic supplements for gut health; and Ratepunk, a travel technology platform for flight and hotel deals.

The business operates on a hybrid model: venture-studio returns from co-founded companies plus direct-to-consumer product revenue across portfolio brands distributed globally via e-commerce. The company is privately held, was founded in 2013, employs 501–1,000 people, and is led by Co-founder and Chairman Tadas Burgaila, CEO Žygimantas Surintas, and CFO Mohamed Youssef. Capital structure includes a cumulative €9 million secondary position held by Nordic Secondary Fund II as of April 2023, with founders also acting as limited partners in Baltic-focused VC fund FIRSTPICK (€25 million, March 2026).

Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Marketing and distribution are primarily digital: the company runs a content-led website with portfolio showcases and application funnels for prospective founders and co-founders.

Direct peers

• Idealab: Pioneering venture studio that creates and operates companies internally, mirroring Kilo Health's pattern of launching and retaining wholly-owned portfolio brands rather than only taking minority venture stakes.
• Atomic: Venture studio that co-founds startups with operational support, talent, and capital — essentially the same playbook as Kilo Health, applied to enterprise software rather than consumer health/wellness.
• Science Inc. Operating venture studio that builds and scales consumer technology brands end-to-end, the closest direct analog to Kilo Health's model of co-founding ventures with full operational support across multiple verticals.
• Apollo Neuroscience: Direct competitor to Pulsetto in the consumer vagus nerve stimulation / wearable wellness device category, applying neuroscience to stress and sleep — the closest single-product comparable to one of Kilo Health's flagship portfolio brands.
• Rocket Internet: Global company builder that identifies, builds, and scales internet/consumer businesses with operational playbooks — directly comparable to Kilo Health's vertical-specialized, execution-driven venture studio approach.
• Calm: Subscription digital wellness platform addressing stress, sleep, and meditation — overlaps with Pulsetto's vagus nerve stimulation positioning and Kilo Health's wellness category focus.
• AG1 (Athletic Greens): Premium daily supplement brand with strong D2C subscription economics — a direct comparable for Kilo Health's probiotic supplements portfolio brand in positioning, pricing, and consumer marketing mechanics.
• Headspace Health: Digital mental health and meditation platform — competes in the same sleep/stress/wellness consumer category as Pulsetto and other Kilo Health wellness portfolio brands.
• Hims & Hers Health: Scaled digital health/wellness consumer brand spanning telehealth, supplements, and personal care — a public-market proxy for the type of brand Kilo Health's portfolio (probiotics, haircare, Pulsetto) is trying to build into category leaders.
• Ro: Vertically integrated digital health company operating multiple consumer brands (Roman, Rory, Zero) — directly comparable operating model to Kilo Health's multi-brand health/wellness portfolio strategy.
