Founders Associate - Strategy & Expansion

🏢 About us

Holi is the first digital obesity and metabolic health clinic in Poland — a place where a team of specialists and technology supports patients in making lasting changes to their lives. We started Holi to give patients hope that chronic, lifestyle-driven conditions can be treated with empathy, science and great product design—not quick fixes. We’re building a new, human–AI hybrid model: specialists where it truly matters, automation and agentic AI where it compounds quality and scale. Our long-term goal is to create a “clinic in your pocket” solution — a place where patients can take care of all aspects of their health: from treating diseases to preventing them.

Active on the market since 2023, we are a team of 15 people across business, technology, marketing, psychology and medicine. We have recently secured €3m EUR Seed funding from HealthTech specialized VCs from Germany and Poland to accelerate our product development and expand internationally.
