Meddi, the Mexican healthtech company focused on healthcare for the corporate and insurance sectors, received a US$8 million investment from GNP Seguros through the acquisition of a stake in the company.
GNP Seguros, a Mexican company with over 120 years in the market, is betting on innovation and the use of new technologies through this acquisition to focus on prevention and thus identify health risks in their early stages, foster new habits, and promote a healthier lifestyle, thereby reducing the incidence of chronic degenerative diseases.
Headquartered in Guadalajara, Meddi seeks to develop a digital ecosystem to connect companies, insurers, and users so they can closely monitor their habits and health status and detect health risks so they can be addressed in a timely manner. It currently has nationwide coverage and partners with more than 58 hospitals, over 5,000 specialists, and more than 300 laboratories.
The investment in Meddi drives a significant shift in health prevention models in Mexico. “At GNP Seguros, we firmly believe that prevention is a key component of our society’s sustainable growth; caring for the health of individuals and families is fundamental and a clear obligation of the insurance sector,” said Jesús Martínez, CEO of GNP Seguros, in a statement.
Founded in 2017 by Pablo Emmanuel Aguirre Zavala and Roberto Riestra Ruiz, the health tech company has received seed-stage funding from CAPEM Mexico, ID345, Enlaces, Open Water Investment, and Unreasonable Mexico.
Pablo Aguirre, CEO and co-founder of Meddi, said in a statement that his goal is to make taking care of one’s health as easy as using an app in everyday life: “The partnership with GNP and Médica Móvil allows us to take this vision to a new level and build an ecosystem where prevention, care, and protection are truly connected.”
This acquisition enables GNP to offer a comprehensive experience, ranging from prevention to financial protection for its clients in the major medical expenses sector. Figures from GNP Seguros indicate that it holds a total market share of 13.3% in the insurance sector. Meanwhile, in the major medical expenses sector, it ranks first in market share with over 24% of the total.
“We are committed to implementing a comprehensive health model that uses data to anticipate risks, integrating digital biomarkers and personalized health plans. This will allow us to build closer relationships with our policyholders, closely monitor their health, raise awareness about the importance of timely and regular care, and, above all, create virtuous cycles that permeate society,” concluded Martínez, CEO of GNP.
