Delfina

Founded in 2021 by physician-scientist Dr. Senan Ebrahim and his co-founders, Delfina sells to health plans, providers, and employers, and has raised roughly $22M to date, including a $17M Series A in January 2025.

By training patients' relatives with practical, condition-specific health skills while they wait in hospital wards - then reinforcing that training after discharge through WhatsApp, voice calls, and live chat - its Care Companion Program has reached tens of millions of caregivers across India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Nepal, cutting newborn readmissions and post-surgical cardiac complications.
Bloomlife
Bloomlife is a San Francisco maternal health company that pairs FDA-cleared wearable sensors with a connected-care platform so high-risk pregnancies can be monitored from home. Born from a co-founder's own NICU experience, the company shifts prenatal care out of the clinic and into the living room - tracking fetal heart rate, blood pressure and glucose, then feeding the data to clinicians through risk-stratification tools meant to catch complications earlier.
Mirvie
Mirvie is a South San Francisco biotech using cell-free RNA signatures and machine learning to predict pregnancy complications - preeclampsia, preterm birth, fetal growth restriction - months before symptoms appear. Its flagship product Encompass is a blood test built on a foundational study of nearly 11,000 pregnancies.
Maternova, Inc.
Maternova is a woman-owned, woman-run social enterprise based in Providence, Rhode Island that curates, evaluates, and distributes evidence-based medical devices and diagnostics for maternal, neonatal, and reproductive health in low- and middle-income countries.

The mission is to deliver 'Better Health Data for All.'
Raydiant Oximetry, Inc.
Raydiant Oximetry is a clinical-stage medical device company building Lumerah, a noninvasive, transabdominal fetal pulse oximeter that measures a baby's blood-oxygen levels during labor.

It holds FDA Breakthrough Device designation and is partnered with GE HealthCare.
