Kurbo Health, founded by Joanna Strober, is a mobile app that helps kids and teens lose weight safely. It categorizes food using a stoplight system, in which "red" foods are bad, "yellow" foods are okay, and "green" foods are good. Kurbo Health's mobile platform lets users track the food they eat, as well as the physical activity they do each day, and a trained human coach has a weekly meeting with each user to set goals.
Kurbo Health raised $5.8 million in July from Greg Badros, Susan Wojcicki, Promus Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, Data Collective, and Signia Venture Partners.
