Founded in 2021 by Lauren Berson after her own three-year struggle with infertility, it pairs 24/7 nurse and coach support with cohort-based community and evidence-based education.

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.
Teal Health

Founded by Stanford physician-researcher Dr. Avnesh Thakor and CEO Kara Egan, the company pairs a comfortable, tampon-like self-collection device with a women's telehealth platform so people with a cervix can screen for HPV at home and skip the stirrups. The device uses the same clinically validated Roche cobas HPV test that providers use in-clinic, detecting cervical precancer 96% of the time, and shipped nationwide to all 50 states after winning FDA authorization in May 2025.

Members follow a 12-month personalized program covering nutrition, sleep, stress, and movement. Clinical outcomes show 92% of members reduce symptoms within four weeks, 85% cut ER visits within 16 months, and average annual healthcare savings of $5,181 per patient. Backed by $33.4M in total funding led by General Catalyst, WellTheory serves both individual members ($175/month) and self-insured employers and health plans like Sentara Health Plans.

Parsley Health is a functional-medicine telehealth provider founded in 2016 by physician Dr. Robin Berzin. It pairs in-depth diagnostics and biomarker testing with longitudinal, team-based care - doctors plus health coaches - to find and treat the root causes of chronic conditions like gut, autoimmune, hormonal, metabolic and mental-health issues, rather than just managing symptoms. Originally a cash-pay membership model with clinics in New York and Los Angeles, Parsley has shifted to a virtual-first national service and in 2026 became the first functional-medicine provider to accept insurance in-network nationwide, putting its care within reach of roughly 150 million insured Americans.

Working in-network with most major commercial plans and Medicaid in multiple states, SimpliFed partners with health systems and OB clinics to extend judgment-free, evidence-based care into the home.
