Flo Health Inc.

Today, we’re thrilled to announce that Flo has raised over $200M in Series C funding led by General Atlantic, a leading global growth equity firm. With our valuation now beyond $1 billion, Flo proudly joins the ranks of femtech unicorns, a status achieved by very few companies in this space. This milestone not only validates our mission and approach but underscores the growing recognition of investing in women’s health. After more than eight years of continuous expansion, Flo is now the most downloaded app in the Health & Fitness category, serving nearly 70 million monthly active users (MAUs) and close to 5 million paid subscribers. Today, 1 in 4 US women use Flo, and we're actively spearheading a global movement to prioritize women's health across all regions. We'll use this investment to expand into new user segments, enhance our tech-driven health insights, and pursue strategic expansion opportunities. As always, we remain committed to normalizing conversations about women's health and supporting women at every stage of their health journey—from menstruation to conception, pregnancy, and menopause. With the femtech industry poised to be a $60 billion industry by 2027, we’re well-positioned to revolutionize women's health and make a lasting impact on global health outcomes. We couldn't be more excited to reach this incredible milestone 🎉 More from TechCrunch: https://lnkd.in/gZaJTvEH

When Dmitry Gurski and I opened our first London office of 12 desks back in 2021 we cut the ribbon wrapped around a £170 beer fridge and felt fancy. This is why it was such a joy for me to open the third London HQ of Flo Health Inc. along with the physical and visceral sense of growth, progress and togetherness it brings. This time truly reflecting who we are, what we stand for and what a real working home feels like. Ya'll - it's a real beaut. Thank you Roman Bugaev & Anna Klepchukova for being reliable ribbon-bearers! ("just don't mess this one up!" 😅 )
