CEO raises $92M to expand $1.7B virtual maternal care startup to all women

Pomelo Care, a virtual maternal healthcare startup, has raised $92 million to expand its services beyond pregnancy to cover women at all life stages. The funding comes as founder and CEO Marta Bralic Kerns, a former Flatiron Health executive, seeks to address gaps in women's healthcare. Bralic Kerns founded the company after experiencing disconnected maternal care despite having quality insurance and doctors. She found that personalised care and data-driven guidance were lacking during her own pregnancy. The startup currently focuses on maternal health but plans to use the new capital to broaden its virtual care model. Pomelo Care is valued at $1.7 billion, reflecting investor confidence in improving women's healthcare through technology and data-driven approaches across different life stages.
