Rise is a personal nutrition app that connects customers with diet coaches who review users' meal photos and provide personalized suggestions. Coaches combine education about healthy foods with accountability by monitoring uploaded meals over time. The company added an Apple HealthKit integration so users can share activity data from third‑party apps and devices with their coaches. That activity data lets coaches tailor nutrition plans for different goals, including weight loss and bulking for users on workout regimens. Rise expanded internationally to Australia, Canada, and New Zealand after attracting thousands of users in the U.S. The company announced an additional $1 million in funding to continue growing. Rise is a mobile dieting and health app that lets users take a photo of each meal and receive personalized feedback from credentialed nutrition coaches. Founders Suneel Gupta and Stuart Parmenter built a coach dashboard that lets coaches review many clients’ meals efficiently and deliver timely advice, enabling lower-cost, ongoing coaching. The service emphasizes simple logging (photo + brief description) and behavior change through daily feedback and evolving meal guidelines. Rise markets coaching at a lower price point than one-on-one nutritionists, charging $48 per month or $15 per week, and offered a promo for early users. The company ran a pilot before opening broader access and has assembled a large advisory group to support growth and coach recruitment. Financially, Rise has completed a seed financing to fund its product and expansion efforts.
