Everlywell is a consumer health testing company that connects people with accessible, innovative, and insightful at-home lab tests. Lab tests play a role in over 70% of medical diagnoses, and more than 14 billion lab tests are ordered in the U.S. every year. However, millions of Americans avoid traditional lab testing due to high or unknown costs and lack of convenience. Everlywell believes people should be able to take control of their health and wellness when and how they need it most without worrying about cost, convenience, or confusing lab results.
At Everlywell, the goal is to ensure everyone has access to the lab results they need without inconvenient waiting rooms or surprise medical bills. To achieve this, Everlywell offers over 30 at-home lab tests, providing reliable results without requiring individuals to leave their homes or spend excessively. All Everlywell products are available in 49 states, excluding New York due to complex billing laws and health testing regulations.
Everlywell was founded in 2015 by Julia Cheek in Austin, Texas. Julia started the company after recognizing a fundamental gap in healthcare: lab testing — which plays a role in more than 70% of medical decisions — was inaccessible, expensive, and confusing for most Americans. She built Everlywell to change that, offering at-home lab tests that deliver clear, actionable results.
From its early days, Everlywell captured national attention — including an appearance on Shark Tank in 2017 — and grew into one of the most recognized names in consumer health. North Haven Capital invested in Everlywell as the company expanded its reach to over 30 at-home tests available nationwide. Everlywell later became the parent company Everly Health, one of the most-valued founder-led digital health companies in the country.
