Genie Health, a Singapore health technology startup, raised US$3 million in a seed round led by Nadathur Family Office, the company said in a statement on October 21, 2026.

Genie Health seed funding: who backed the round and how the money will be used
TNGlobal reports that the round also included participation from Liminal and two experienced healthcare investors, who are not named. TNGlobal describes Liminal as a Founders' Studio backed by Temasek, and The Business Times calls it a Temasek-backed venture studio. A venture studio is a firm that helps build new companies and invests in them.
Seed funding is an early stage of outside investment in a young company. Genie Health will use the money to improve its artificial intelligence capabilities, speed up adoption of its clinic product among clinics, and expand its product and engineering-healthcare teams in Singapore.
In a company release on August 5, 2026, Hari V. Krishnan, co-founder and CEO, said, "People don't need more health data. They need help understanding it and knowing what changes they can make to improve their health."
TNGlobal reports that Anand Nadathur, principal of the Nadathur Family Office, will join the company's board. In e27's account, Nadathur said the office backs founders who are capable, committed and aligned with its values for the long term.
The reports used here do not give each investor's share of the US$3 million, so the split of the round cannot be stated.
Genie Health's two products and what the reports leave out
Genie Health launched two products on August 5, 2026, in a PR Newswire release carried by TNGlobal. Genie is a free personal health app for iOS and Android, and Genie SmartCare is a clinic platform. The clinic platform uses agentic AI, which means software that carries out multi-step tasks with limited supervision.
e27 reports that the company has not disclosed its business model or how many clinics use SmartCare.
Genie Health seed round compared with WYDE's health seed rounds
WYDE's startup directory holds four health-sector seed rounds with a disclosed amount, and the Genie Health round is one of them. Refresh Miami reported on October 20, 2026 that Sunlight AI emerged from stealth with $17.4 million in seed funding. Nolla Health's US launch release of September 18, 2025 came on the heels of a $4.5 million seed round.
TechCrunch reported on October 7, 2026 that Healthleap's financing included an $8 million seed round, which WYDE covered this week.
Genie Health's US$3 million is the smallest of the four. It is about 17% of the Sunlight AI amount, because US$3 million divided by $17.4 million equals 0.17. The comparison covers only the seed rounds that WYDE's directory holds with an amount.

TNGlobal gives $3 million with no currency code, while the Business Times and e27 headlines give US$3 million. This article uses US$3 million.
Genie Health founders and the open questions
The Business Times reports that a wealth of medical data, combined with a lack of expertise to make sense of it, drove former PropertyGuru CEO Hari Krishnan to start Genie Health. TNGlobal reports that Krishnan was CEO and managing director of PropertyGuru Group and that he previously headed LinkedIn's Asia-Pacific business.
The reports used here give no revenue, user count, valuation or founding year for Genie Health, so these reports cannot show how far the products have been adopted.
