Lark Overview

About Lark

Lark Health is a Mountain View digital-health company founded in 2011 that provides automated coaching for chronic-condition prevention and management.

Revenue is generated through contracted population-health programs and subscription-like service arrangements with healthcare purchasers. The company measures engagement and health outcomes for its enterprise clients. Columbus Venture Partners identifies Lark as a portfolio company first invested in during 2023.
