• Karan Bajaj, creator of WhiteHat Jr.
• Raised $16 million in seed funding.
• Led by Owl Ventures and Blume Ventures.

Karan Bajaj, the visionary startup founder of WhiteHat Jr. edtech platform, is re-entering the startup ecosystem with a new exciting venture in healthcare. His recent venture, Complement 1, a healthtech startup company based in the U.S., has raised a seed funding amount of $16 million to work on a personal, technology-infused lifestyle coaching platform for use by cancer patients and individuals with a high likelihood of developing cancer.

The round was led by Owl Ventures and Blume Ventures, and the funding will be critical in building Complement 1's coaching platform at scale, bolstering its AI-powered personalization engine, and building out partnerships with cancer centers, health plans, and employers across the United States. The startup is dedicated to smoothly integrating evidence-based interventions such as nutrition, sleep, stress reduction, and exercise into the continuum of cancer care.

"Lifestyle modification is the most powerful but least used tool in cancer treatment," said Karan Bajaj, CEO and Co-Founder of Complement 1. He highlighted the necessity for patient support, which "every oncologist will attest to that patients require more help integrating clinically suggested physical activity, nutrition, and mind-body practices."

Bajaj opines that Complement 1 has been able to come up with a practical method of daily interaction through empathetic and tailored coaching, which will enable patients to experience significant and sustainable improvement during and after their treatment. This revolutionary platform is set to inspire those living with cancer by giving them access to what they need to promote their holistic wellbeing.
