Company profile
researched Aug 2026Signos, Inc. is a metabolic health company that sells a subscription membership combining a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) biosensor with an AI-powered mobile app for weight management. Glucose readings are streamed into the app, where they are combined with logged meals, workouts, sleep, hydration and weight data to identify glucose patterns, predict responses to food and movement, and prompt users with in-the-moment adjustments such as a specific type or intensity of activity after a glucose spike. The membership also includes registered dietitian support, daily and weekly metabolism scores, access to a private community, and integrations with Apple Health, Apple Watch, Google Health Connect, smartwatches and smart scales.
The product line spans a core Signos CGM plan, a Signos+ GLP-1 plan for members using GLP-1 medications, and Signos Essentials. The company also offers channels for organizations, including employers, health plans and health partners. The Signos Glucose Monitoring System is described as an over-the-counter mobile application that receives data from an integrated CGM (iCGM) sensor and is intended for people 18 and older who are not on insulin; it measures, records, analyzes and displays glucose values, helps detect normal and dysglycemic levels, and is positioned to help users understand how diet and exercise affect glucose excursions in support of maintaining a healthy weight. The company states the experience is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease, including diabetes, and that users should not take medical action on device output without consulting a healthcare professional. The sensor hardware used is Dexcom's Stelo biosensor, under trademark permission from Dexcom.
The company originally served non-diabetic users and expanded its weight management platform to support people living with Type 2 diabetes in May 2023. In August 2025 Signos received FDA clearance, described in press coverage as the first glucose monitoring system cleared for weight loss/weight management, and it markets the product as HSA/FSA eligible.
Founding story
Sharam Fouladgar-Mercer's long-running interest in his own weight and fitness led him to the idea that glucose could serve as a key biometric to track. A pizza outing with Bill Tancer, who tracked his own weight in spreadsheets, prompted the pair to pursue a data-driven approach to weight management, and they founded Signos to turn personal biodata into actionable guidance.
Business model
Signos sells a direct-to-consumer monthly membership that bundles CGM hardware, the AI app, and registered dietitian support; the site lists a $127/month membership with hardware included and a 30-day results guarantee. Separate plan tiers cover the core CGM program, a GLP-1 companion program, and an Essentials option. The company also markets to organizations — employers, health plans and health partners — and has a distribution arrangement making its subscription plans available through Dexcom's direct-to-consumer site Stelo.com.
Recurring consumer subscription revenue from monthly memberships that include the biosensor hardware and coaching, sold direct on signos.com and, following the 2026 Dexcom agreement, through Stelo.com; the company also pursues organizational channels (employers, health plans, health partners).
Traction
The iOS app holds a 4.6 rating across about 1,000 ratings and the Android app has more than 10,000 downloads. The company's site cites a 4.8 out of 5 review rating and states 86% of members report success in their first month. In May 2026 the CEO said revenue and the user base had each grown roughly tenfold over the prior six months, without disclosing absolute figures, and that tens of thousands of users had participated in clinical studies.
Latest developments
In May 2026 Signos announced a $20 million funding round backed by GV, Dexcom and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama (investing through its 450 Ventures vehicle), together with an expanded Dexcom partnership placing Signos subscription plans on Stelo.com. Proceeds are earmarked in part for predictive AI features including pre-meal glucose-impact scoring. The company declined to disclose its post-round valuation. Coverage of CGMs for weight loss continued into February 2026 with a WIRED feature.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history, risks & controversies
Market position
Signos positions itself as a metabolic-health-led weight management platform and states its system was the first in its category to receive FDA clearance for weight management (August 2025). It differentiates against assembling separate CGM, wearable and coaching services, which it prices at $800+ per month versus its bundled $127 monthly membership. Investors include strategic parties from the CGM (Dexcom) and payer (Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama) markets.
Bundling of FDA-cleared over-the-counter CGM hardware, an AI recommendation engine, and registered dietitian support in a single membership; real-time, personalized prompts tied to individual glucose responses rather than generic calorie counting; clearance specifically for weight management rather than diabetes management; and a dedicated plan for users on GLP-1 medications.
Technology
An AI engine ingests real-time interstitial glucose readings from an integrated CGM sensor along with logged meals, workouts, sleep, stress, hydration and weight, and compares them against a large aggregated dataset to predict glucose responses, calculate an individualized target glucose zone, and issue behavioral prompts and micro-change recommendations. The app integrates with Apple Health, Apple Watch and Google Health Connect. Planned development includes predictive capabilities such as meal scoring that estimates the glucose impact of a meal from a user's own history before eating.
Go-to-market
Primarily direct-to-consumer e-commerce on signos.com with promotional discount codes, supported by app store distribution (iOS and Android), a content blog and Atlas resource library, a branded podcast (Body Signals), press coverage, and HSA/FSA eligibility messaging. Enterprise pages target employers, health plans and health partners. A 2026 partnership expansion adds distribution through Dexcom's Stelo.com direct-to-consumer site.
Adults 18 and older not on insulin who are pursuing weight management or better metabolic health, including people with prediabetes and, since May 2023, people living with Type 2 diabetes. Leadership has described two core segments: users already on GLP-1 medications who want additional metabolic data, and users pursuing weight loss without medication. Employers, health plans and health partners are addressed as institutional buyers.
Geography
United States-focused; the company is registered as Signos, Inc. at 2625 Middlefield Rd #720, Palo Alto, California, with its Series B announcement datelined San Francisco.
History
Signos was launched/founded in 2018. In May 2023 it extended its weight management platform, previously limited to non-diabetics, to people with Type 2 diabetes. In October 2023 it announced a $20 million Series B led by Cheyenne Ventures and GV with participation from Dexcom Ventures and Samsung Next. In August 2025 it received FDA clearance for the Signos Glucose Monitoring System, covered by CNBC, Fast Company, Healthline, Athletech News and ConsumerAffairs as the first glucose monitoring system cleared for weight loss. In May 2026 it announced a further $20 million round together with an expanded Dexcom distribution partnership.
Risks & controversies
The product is explicitly not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease, including diabetes, and users are directed not to act medically on sensor output without clinician consultation; the labeling excludes people on insulin and those with problematic hypoglycemia. The company relies on Dexcom for sensor hardware and, increasingly, for distribution, creating supplier and channel concentration. Growth and outcome claims cited publicly (tenfold growth, 86% first-month success) are self-reported and not accompanied by absolute figures, and the company declined to disclose its valuation.
