NEW YORK, July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Arise, the digital healthcare company enabling comprehensive care for eating disorders, mental health, and long-term healing, has launched today after raising over $4 million in a seed funding round. Arise is building a virtual-first care model to reach and engage more of the 30 million Americans who will experience an eating disorder in their lifetime — 80-90% of whom will not get care today. The round was led by Greycroft and BBG Ventures with participation from Wireframe Ventures, Cityblock co-founder Iyah Romm (he/him) and Sonder Health founder Sylvia Romm, MD, MPH (she/her), and PatientPing founder Jay Desai (he/him), among others.

Key Points: 
  • Arise is building a virtual-first care model to reach and engage more of the 30 million Americans who will experience an eating disorder in their lifetime 80-90% of whom will not get care today.
  • Arise will bring integrated community and clinical care to people living with disordered eating and eating disorders, which are a category of conditions that can show up in different ways for people including binge eating disorder, bulimia, anorexia, rumination disorder, avoidant or restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), and other conditions.
  • Stigma makes it difficult for people to identify their eating disorder and this is magnified when your families and communities don't have language to describe, let alone identify, the eating disorder.
  • Arise launches at a time when eating disorders, which are the second deadliest behavioral health condition after opioid use disorder, are sharply increasing.
