Aktiia, a blood pressure intelligence platform, has secured $42 million in a Series B funding round co-led by Earlybird Health and Wellington Partners. The round also welcomed new investors Kfund and naturalX Health Ventures, alongside continued support from Redalpine, Khosla Ventures, Molten Ventures, Translink Capital, and Verve Ventures. This latest round brings the company’s total funding to over $100 million and will accelerate its mission to manage the world’s blood pressure.
Alongside the funding, Aktiia announced a rebrand to Hilo to reflect its global ambition to make cuffless, clinically validated blood pressure monitoring universally accessible and effortless.
This funding round is a testament to the confidence our investors have in Hilo’s groundbreaking technology and our mission to manage the world’s blood pressure via more frequent, convenient and accurate measurements. With billions worldwide suffering from hypertension, only 20% of whom are in control of their blood pressure, the need for innovative, accessible blood pressure monitoring solutions has never been greater. Our rebrand to Hilo represents more than just a name change, it’s a commitment to empowering users around the world with smarter tools to optimise their health. We are grateful to early Aktiia customers for their support and to our investors, new and existing, for their faith.

For its new identity, the company secured the Exact Brand Match (EBM) domain name Hilo.com. The domain follows a CVCV (consonant-vowel-consonant-vowel) structure, known for its smooth, rhythmic sound that enhances global appeal and ease of pronunciation. Many major brands, including Nike, Dove, Visa, Sony, and Lego, leverage CVCV domain names to strengthen brand recognition and memorability.Â
By adopting Hilo.com, the company ensures a smooth transition for existing clients and partners while enhancing the visibility and credibility of the new brand.
