Diana Health
Diana Health is a women's healthcare company that partners with hospitals to redesign their OB-GYN and labor-and-delivery programs around a midwifery-centered, team-based care model. Certified nurse-midwives work alongside OB-GYNs, therapists, dietitians, and health coaches to deliver longer appointments, integrated mental health, and holistic support across pregnancy, gynecology, menopause, and everyday well-woman care - backed by a digital platform for education and virtual visits. Founded in 2020 and based in New York, the company operates clinics co-located with mid-sized hospitals and serves more than 80,000 women a year.
Adrianne Nickerson
Adrianne Nickerson is the co-founder and CEO of Oula, a New York maternity company that fuses midwives, OB-GYNs and technology into one hybrid clinic built to give pregnant patients a calmer, more personal, evidence-based birth experience. A Columbia biology grad with a Harvard master's in global health, she decided she could help patients more by not becoming a doctor - and instead builds the systems doctors and midwives work inside. She co-founded Oula in 2019, opened it while pregnant alongside two pregnant co-executives, and has raised tens of millions to expand care that reduces unnecessary C-sections and centers patient voices.
Kate Condliffe
Kate Condliffe is the co-founder and CEO of Diana Health, a network of women's health practices that partners with hospitals to rebuild their maternity and OB/GYN programs around holistic, team-based care. She launched the company in 2020 out of AlleyCorp's healthcare incubator after two decades scaling high-value care models, including roles as COO of the Clinton Health Access Initiative and COO of the birth-center network Baby+Co. Under her leadership, Diana Health has grown to nine locations across Tennessee, Florida, and Texas, cares for more than 80,000 women annually, and has raised roughly $101 million to date, including a $55 million Series C in 2025.
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.
Oula
Oula is a modern maternity and gynecology clinic that blends midwifery with obstetrics in a single, collaborative care model. Founded in New York in 2019 and opening its first Brooklyn clinic in 2021, Oula pairs in-person visits with virtual check-ins and care navigators to deliver personalized, evidence-based pregnancy, postpartum, and women's health care. The company reports outcomes that beat NYC benchmarks across race and payer type, accepts insurance and Medicaid, and is expanding beyond New York City after raising a $28M Series B in 2024.
