Investing in Twentyeight Health: Advancing Equity in Sexual and Reproductive Health

February 16, 2023

We’re thrilled to announce our recent investment in Twentyeight Health, a digital healthcare platform increasing access and equity for women’s health.

Our investment will enable the company to accelerate growth and continue its mission to increase reproductive and sexual healthcare access to underserved communities. 

Why we invested in Twentyeight Health: 

Leadership Team: CEO Bruno Van Tuykom spent 8 years at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, where he worked on increasing access to health care, with a focus on family planning. CPO Amy Fan, who previously led a direct-to-consumer skincare and makeup company, brings her consumer product expertise.  

Market Timing: Since 2016, FemTech has risen as one of the fastest-growing sectors in the digital health industry, providing huge opportunities for value creation, social progress, and equality. Furthermore, the recent ruling by SCOTUS to overturn Roe vs. Wade and ensuing policy changes have led to sustained growth in demand for contraceptive products and medication abortion.  

Social Impact: Distinct barriers, like coverage concerns, preclude low-income and BIPOC women from accessing sexual and reproductive health care. Twentyeight Health has the potential to increase healthcare access, convenience, and affordability. 

Join us in supporting Twentyeight Health to provide more equitable health care for all.
