Newmi Care, a women-focused health and wellness startup, has raised $1.5 million (₹12.6 crore) in a seed funding round led by Sprout Venture Partners. The round also saw participation from a family office, angel investment platform LetsVenture, Sarcha Advisors, Key Ventures Forum, and other angel investors. Founded in May 2022 by Sanchit Agarwal and Aditi Mittal, Newmi Care provides a comprehensive platform for women’s healthcare, including consultations, diagnostics, procedures, medications, product shopping, and health tracking, all accessible through a single interface. The startup addresses a broad spectrum of women's health issues, from menstrual and hormonal health to fertility, maternity, menopause, and reproductive organ cancers. It also offers women-centric outpatient department (OPD) insurance products in collaboration with leading insurers. The newly acquired funds will be utilized to establish women's clinics in northern and western India, enhance technology, drive product innovation, and expand the team. #NewmiCare #HealthTech #WomenHealth #FundingNews #SproutVenturePartners #StartupFunding #HealthcareInnovation #WomenWellness #IndiaStartups #HealthStartups #SeedFunding #BusinessExpansion #TechAdvancement #startup77

Calling all Women’s Health startups in Denmark/Nordics 📣📣   Running a startup can feel like juggling a dozen things at once, and let's face it, not all of us are octopuses 🐙 Sometimes a helping hand can be quite a lifesaver… Therefore, our two superwomen DeepTech Fund Director Marianne and DeepTech Fund Analyst Agnethe are hosting our #OpenDoor session on June 7th, ready to guide and prep Women’s Health founders for whatever twists and turns the future might throw their way 📈📉   Women’s Health has gained momentum the past years, fuelled by a growing awareness of women’s healthcare needs, and the rise of research and deep technology within this area.   HOWEVER 🚨 In Sie Ventures' European FemTech report, the industry is still heavily male-dominated, and the USA is outperforming Europe fourfold in funding of Women’s Health. Why? Because women's health research is lacking in funding here in Europe -> Denmark.   As you might sense- this is an important matter! Here at #PSVDeepTech, we're ready to lean in and unlock the huge potential within Women’s Health startups 💪👱♀️(ex. ‘Red’ BioTech). Our focus areas are within:   🌀Mature sub-market - encompassing maternal health, fertility, and menstrual health    🌀Opportunity sub-market involving menopause, women-specific chronical health, gyn, pelvic, contraception, depression & anxiety, and cardiovascular health    So, whether you have a Women’s Health startup idea that's up and running or just have some scribbles in a notebook and you're based in the Nordic region, mark a big X in your calendar for June 7th. You can apply right here 🚀: https://lnkd.in/dCZuXGmu #DeepTech #OpenDoor #Venturecapital #Womenshealth #healthtech #venture #VC #startup #startupecosystem #PreSeedVentures

It’s been really interesting to see the debate around Flo’s record $200m funding this week 💰 As a femtech company founded by men, led by men, and funded by men, it’s no surprise that the news that Flo is the first women’s health app to achieve unicorn status has raised concerns about the lack of funding received by women-led businesses. Female-founded startups account for 2% or less of VC funding - making raises such as Grace Beverley’s TALA's recent £5m round all the more important. We were at risk earlier this year of cutting out a huge number of female angel investors with the push to increase the threshold to be a HNWI - and we know that female investors are more likely to invest in female-founded companies. So what does the news from Flo represent? There’s an argument to be made that investors who see health startups such as Flo securing such a significant investment might lead to attitude shifts in the wider market. And we need more money injected into women’s health - so if this is happening, does it really matter who is leading the charge? Is it actually a good thing for men to be engaging in women’s health? Ultimately, the news demonstrates that we still aren’t seeing enough female-founded businesses gaining investment - and that needs to change. But, anything that furthers investigation into women’s health can’t be a bad thing - right? Abbianca Nassar née Makoni wrote a great piece about the debate in UKTN I felt highlighted the debate well 👇
