Aavia
Aavia is a hormone health company building a daily app that helps people with ovaries understand how their ovarian hormones shape their energy, mood, sleep, skin, and sex drive across the cycle. Founded at MIT in 2017, it began with a patented Smart Birth Control Pill Case that senses whether you have taken your pill and reminds you until you do, then grew into an all-in-one tracking and education platform with personalized, science-backed insights, a member community, and a medical advisory board.
Pandia Health
Pandia Health is a doctor-founded, women-led telehealth company that prescribes and delivers birth control, acne treatment, and menopause hormone therapy across the United States. Founded in 2016 by Stanford-affiliated physician Dr. Sophia Yen and a team of clinicians and operators, the company built its business on a simple bet: most American women still struggle to get continuous access to hormonal medication, and a recurring, mail-order subscription paired with a board-certified physician network can fix it.
