The investment will support team expansion and product development as the company works to establish a new category in European healthcare.
Milan-based Qura, an AI-powered full-stack health platform, has closed a €1.5 million pre-seed round led by United Ventures, with participation from Vento, Italian Angels for Growth (IAG) and several individual angel investors.
An estimated one in five adults experiences persistent subclinical symptoms, such as chronic fatigue, hormonal imbalances, digestive issues or unexplained hair loss, that fall short of acute illness but still affect quality of life. Traditional primary care is not well designed to manage these conditions or support early intervention: consultations are brief, diagnostics are limited, and patients often navigate multiple specialists without a coordinated care plan.
At the same time, Europe’s health check-up market is projected to reach €18.6 billion by 2030, reflecting growing emphasis on prevention. However, healthcare delivery remains largely focused on acute care, leaving non-emergency needs underserved and often financed out of pocket.
Qura aims to address this gap with an integrated care pathway. Members complete comprehensive blood testing through partner laboratories, followed by AI-driven analysis and a 45-minute consultation with a dedicated physician. Each user receives a personalised health plan outlining immediate actions and longer-term monitoring, supported by ongoing follow-up and medical guidance.
The company’s hybrid care model keeps physicians at the centre while AI supports efficiency and personalisation — an approach intended to strengthen trust, adherence and quality of care. From an infrastructure standpoint, Qura is prioritising regulatory alignment by building an EU-native platform that is GDPR-compliant, medically validated and integrated with local laboratory networks.
Virginia Gambardella, CEO and founder of Qura, said health is often treated as an emergency rather than a priority:
Millions of people know something is off, but the current system doesn’t give them the tools or the guidance to act. Qura changes that – we combine the precision of AI with the trust of a real doctor to help people stay well, not just get better.
The new funding will be used to expand hiring across medical, engineering and operations teams, invest in digital marketing and community-led growth, advance Qura’s AI health intelligence capabilities, and prepare for expansion into additional European markets.
