Guest: Azran Osman-Rani, CEO and Co-founder, Naluri

After a grueling three-year journey involving 57 investor conversations, digital health startup Naluri has closed its $14 million Series B round. Now covering over 1 million lives across Southeast Asia, what does this hard-won capital mean for their future, and what lessons did their founder learn along the way?

CEO and Co-founder Azran Osman-Rani joins us to share the story of Naluri's path to scale. He discusses their integrated health model that combines mental and physical well-being, the strategic partnership with lead investor TELUS that is reshaping their expansion plans, and their roadmap to profitability within a year.

We discuss:

  • The 3-year, 57-pitch journey to close a $14M Series B.

  • How they scaled to cover over 1 million employees across Southeast Asia.

  • Their integrated model connecting mental and physical health.

  • AI’s potential to improve efficiency and productivity.

  • Their new expansion strategy fueled by a strategic partnership with TELUS.

    For founders navigating the fundraising 'death valley,' and for leaders in the HealthTech space, this is a dive into the complexities of fundraising, strategic partnerships, and scaling in Southeast Asia.
