According to a 2024 McKinsey report, the women's health market is poised to hit $1 trillion by 2027. The same report highlights that just addressing pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS), a condition that affects 90% of those who menstruate, could contribute a remarkable $115 billion to the global economy.
The round will be used to expand the consumer-facing platform as well as develop its in-house data science, a core element of its B2B offering.
Speaking about investing in Unfabled, Matt Cooper, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman Exceptional Ventures, said: "When investing in a company, our primary focus is finding businesses that match our vision of helping people to live happier, healthier and longer lives. At the same time, we’re looking for the most talented entrepreneurs capable of delivering on that vision. Unfabled was a clear fit on both points, we were instantly taken by its mission to support women’s hormonal health. Unabled’s data-led platform empowers women to discover products and services often overlooked by mainstream healthcare and provides a consumer-friendly solution to a long-standing problem that affects so many lives. Hannah is a brilliant founder whose intellect, passion and drive for her business and its mission were irresistible.”
“A major cause of the gender health gap is the lack of sex-aggregated data which causes a lack of insight and understanding across women’s health. We’re building the most user-friendly platform possible while also filling the massive gap that continues to exist in health-related data. The more we understand about female health, the more laser-focused we can become on improving it”
