What Alfie does
At Alfie, we've built a rigorous virtual medical program based on the top research from Cleveland Clinic and Harvard that allows us to precisely determine which weight loss regimen and (as needed) medications will be most effective for our members in a multimodal approach. We're optimizing exercise/nutrition/medications in complex care pathways like no one else has before. Our program has been shown to be 2x more effective than standard prescription medication and 5x more effective than habit change alone. We've raised capital from Goodwater Capital, Nina Capital, Air Force Ventures, and Phoenix Club, and various super angels including the founder of OpenTrons (medical labs automation; have raised $240 mill). Also, we're a Y Combinator graduate.

Alfie
Democratizing access to precision weight loss meds
We're building a virtual medical program that uses research-backed methods to precisely decide which weight loss regimen and medications work best for each member. Our platform integrates exercise, nutrition, and medication to improve outcomes beyond what habit change or medication alone can achieve.
We live in New York, NY, and the company would remain based here after YC.
Being in New York puts us close to a large population needing better weight loss care and a strong healthcare ecosystem to build partnerships and recruit talent. It also suits our fully virtual medical service model.
