WhiteHat Jr founder Karan Bajaj raises $16 Mn for new startup Complement1 WhiteHat Jr was acquired by Byju’s for $300 million three years ago. At the time, its CEO Karan Bajaj went on to lead Byju’s Future School before leaving the company in August 2021. Karan Bajaj, the co-founder of Byju’s-owned WhiteHat Jr, has raised $16 million in seed funding for his new startup Complement1. The round was led by Owl Ventures and Blume Ventures, with participation from other undisclosed investors. Complement1 is a cancer care startup focusing on personalized lifestyle coaching in the United States. According to the company, it is emerging from stealth to launch the first tech-enabled, clinically validated lifestyle modification platform for cancer patients and high-risk individuals—delivering personalized, daily guidance and education through one-on-one dedicated CoActive Coaches. “Lifestyle change is one of the most powerful yet underused tools in cancer care,” said Karan Bajaj, CEO and co-founder of Complement 1. “Every oncologist will tell you patients need more support incorporating clinically recommended physical activity, nutrition and mind-body practices. We’ve cracked the code on daily engagement with personalized, compassionate coaching—helping patients make meaningful, lasting improvements during and beyond treatment.” With this fundraise, Complement 1 plans to scale up its coaching infrastructure and operations across the United States, advance its AI-driven personalization engine, and partner with cancer centers, health plans, and employers to bring the program to their cancer patients, high-risk individuals, and survivors. A part of this funding company will also go towards product development to enhance the digital user experience for both patients and coaches.
