More than 1 billion people globally live with obesity, a major leading indicator of many preventable chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.

Eucalyptus is the company behind Juniper, one of the world’s largest weight management programs combining GLP-1 medication with a tailored nutrition and exercise programme for women, supported by our multidisciplinary care team of prescribers, health coaches, dietitians, nurses and pharmacists. More recently, we launched Compound, our men’s health brand dedicated to proactive, personalised healthcare solutions. Together with our other brands (Kin, Pilot, and Software), Juniper and Compound form part of our broader mission to solve the world’s biggest healthcare challenges by combining clinical care, science, and technology.

Our published clinical research demonstrates that our combined approach to weight management and lifestyle change means that our patients are 4x as likely to lose significant weight through their course of treatment with Juniper.

Since launching, we’ve grown fast to support millions of patients. In 2024 alone…

In the UK we quadrupled the size of our business, received selective NICE endorsement for our holistic approach to obesity management, and grew our team from 45 to 165.
Globally, we grew revenue by >120% YoY, while reducing cash burned by 90% YoY, with over $100M USD raised from global investors such as BOND, NewView, Blackbird and Airtree — early backers of companies like Canva, Stripe and Airbnb.

What’s next?

In 2025, we are charting the path to support hundreds of thousands of patients while launching into new conditions, demographics, and geographies as we move towards our vision of creating a preventive healthcare ecosystem.

We’re going to build the world’s largest international digital healthcare company. This will be a challenging task, but it will be very rewarding and possibly the adventure of a lifetime, working with some of the best operators you will ever encounter. If that gets you excited, let’s talk.
