Founded in 2016, Vivante Health offers an all-in-one gut health management program, GIThrive, to help individuals manage their conditions with the touch of a button. GIThrive features personalized nutrition plans, daily engaging health challenges, “Med-ucation” to encourage prescription adherence, and on-demand care to address symptom flares and debilitating pain with 24/7 Gut-Side Assistance.

“The Series A financing round represents another pivotal milestone in our mission to improve our member’s digestive health and provide outcomes at scale for our enterprise partners. We are thrilled to partner with premier investors in this latest round of funding that will enable us to continue our rapid growth trajectory and further establish ourselves as the leader in digestive health.” – Bill Snyder, Vivante Health CEO.

“The current experience for individuals with GI disorders is at a minimum inadequate and frustrating, and for many, debilitating. To no surprise, over 40% of people with a GI condition are dissatisfied with their care. Vivante is on a mission to change that. We are thrilled to partner with the company at a true inflection point in their growth story and accelerate access to a proven, evidence-based model that drastically improves the consumer experience while reducing costs for employers.” – Robert Garber, Partner at 7wireVentures.
