Millie
Millie is a San Francisco Bay Area maternity and women's health clinic built around a midwifery-led, tech-enabled model. Founded in 2022 by Anu Sharma after her own near-fatal birth experience, it pairs Certified Nurse Midwives and OB-GYN backup with a dedicated doula (a 'Millie Guide'), a proprietary app, remote monitoring, and virtual visits to cover pregnancy, postpartum, gynecology, and menopause. The company accepts most major insurance and has raised roughly $19 million to date, including a $12M Series A in February 2025 from an all-female roster of investors.
Almond ObGyn
Almond ObGyn is a Los Angeles-based, tech-enabled obstetrics and gynecology practice that set out to be the 'One Medical for women's health.' Founded in 2021 by Tara Raffi and Carly Allen and backed by a $7M seed round out of Y Combinator's S22 batch, Almond blended in-person clinic visits with telehealth, 24/7 text access to clinicians, and membership pricing to cover the full arc of reproductive care - from birth control and annual exams to PCOS, fertility, group pregnancy care, and menopause.
Bluebird Kids Health
Bluebird Kids Health is a Boston-founded pediatric primary care company delivering value-based, tech-enabled medicine to children in underserved Florida communities. It combines physical and behavioral health under one roof, offers 24/7 access and telehealth, and gets paid to keep kids well rather than per visit. Led by former Landmark Health CEO Chris Johnson, it raised $31.5M in 2025 to expand its network of NCQA-recognized clinics serving roughly 20,000 mostly Medicaid-enrolled patients.
Curative
Curative is an Austin-based health insurance company that pivoted from being one of the largest U.S. COVID-19 testing providers into an employer-sponsored health plan with a simple promise: $0 copays, $0 deductibles, and $0 out-of-pocket costs for in-network care, provided members complete an annual preventive Baseline Visit. Founded in 2020 by Fred Turner, Isaac Turner, and Vlad Slepnev, the company packages insurance, pharmacy, telehealth, and care navigation into a single monthly premium aimed at removing the financial friction that keeps people from using their coverage.
