Plume Clinic
Plume Clinic is a Denver-based telehealth company built for and largely by the transgender community, offering gender-affirming hormone therapy, everyday medical care, medical letters of support, and community programming entirely through a phone. Founded in 2019 by physicians Dr. Jerrica Kirkley and Dr. Matthew Wetschler, Plume has served over 50,000 trans and gender non-conforming people across nearly every U.S. state, positioning itself as the first and largest health-tech company designed specifically for trans lives.
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.
