In the US, nearly 6,000 women hit menopause each day. While this condition starts at the age of 51, on average, perimenopause, the precursor to menopause, can occur earlier. With symptoms such as hot flashes, insomnia, anxiety, depression, brain fog, memory loss, joint pain, and genitourinary problems, this condition has a significant impact on women’s quality of life and career growth.
While it is known that menopausal symptoms can derail women’s lives, very few practitioners are trained in managing menopause, leaving a majority of women underdiagnosed, and undertreated. Addressing the gap, Midi Health is rapidly expanding its team of clinicians trained in women’s health.
Targets 50 US states by early 2024
In a recent development, Midi Health, specialising in women’s midlife healthcare, has secured $25 million in a Series A funding round led by Google Ventures aka GV that recently backed Nimbus Therapeutics. Investors Frederique Dame and Cathy Friedman from GV are joined by current investors Felicis, Semper Virens, Icon, 25M and Operator Collective. With this, the total funding raised by Midi Health to date accounts for $40 million.
The company will use the fresh funds to expand its operations nationwide and to launch additional partnerships with some of the largest hospital systems in the country and major US employers. Having helped tens of thousands of patients and providing care covered by all the major insurance carriers, the company plans to expand to 50 states by January 2024.
“Midi has seen meaningful traction since its launch and takes an innovative approach to address an unmet need for nearly half the global population,” said Frederique Dame, General Partner at GV. “Midi’s world-class executive and advisory team has decades of clinical and healthcare expertise and a vision for personalised, affordable, and accessible midlife care. GV is proud to back Midi as they modernize perimenopause and menopause care for women everywhere.”
Midi Health CEO & Founder Joanna Strober said, “Midi provides an insurance-covered solution that focuses on women’s unique needs, closing a major gap in health access, quality, and equity.”
