SkinBit, a Los Angeles-based company founded by melanoma survivor and Deezer co-founder Jonathan Benassaya, has raised $6 million in pre-seed funding for its full-body scan technology. Investors in this concept include Boost VC, Cleo Capital, Manna Ventures, Profluent Capital, Lyft co-founder Logan Green, and nine board-certified dermatologists.
The goal of this financial support is to launch SkinBit's full-body scanner for skin cancer screening that creates a longitudinal, patient-owned record of skin health over time. The innovation performs a 20-minute full-body scan reviewed by board-certified dermatologists and stores the images as a baseline for future comparisons, effectively turning dermatology from a subjective annual visual exam into a continuous, data-driven practice
The full-body scanner for skin cancer screening that creates a longitudinal, patient-owned record of skin health over time. technology will be placed inside med spas, longevity clinics, and dermatology practices, with three locations set to go live in 2026 and 15 by the end of 2027.
