Betterness has raised US$1 million in an expanded Seed round, bringing its total Seed funding to US$3.5 million. The Miami-based healthtech startup connects consumers with local gyms, clinics, and wellness providers through a shared software network. A private investment group with pharmaceutical expertise led the financing extension alongside venture capital investors.
Backing local network growth
The company will use the new capital to expand its local health networks. It launches its first deployment at Miami Worldcenter with more than 30 participating businesses. Locations on the network process an average of US$500,000 annually in member bookings.
Software for members and studios
Consumers access a free mobile application that tracks workouts and integrates with wearable devices. Wellness businesses use the Betterness One platform to manage client schedules, process payments, and run daily operations. An artificial intelligence engine called Bett-i coordinates member health data and creates personalized training plans.
Privacy and partner controls
Members retain control over which health records and data points they share with local businesses. The platform complies with federal health privacy standards and supports connections to external language models. Participating businesses can also link external artificial intelligence systems using the Model Context Protocol.
The company plans to expand its neighborhood model to Miami Beach following the downtown rollout. Upcoming platform updates will introduce telemedicine appointments with licensed clinicians and prescription delivery through U.S. pharmacies. Betterness also intends to add an in-app product marketplace and a curated supplement line.
