Founded in 2014 by former investor and journalist , Maven is a digital clinic specifically focused on healthcare for women and families. Ryder founded the platform while she was looking at digital health companies as an investor.

鈥淥ne thing that was just so striking was the total misalignment between the fact that the healthcare industry is dominated by the female consumer […] and for her basic needs around just having a child, or going through the big moments in life that make you female, there wasn鈥檛 a lot of support,鈥� Ryder told 附近上门 News.

The company鈥檚 international telehealth platform connects patients and doctors through video chat and message. Services range from fertility counseling and lactation consultants to appointments with therapists and OBGYNs.

The company licenses out the platform to practitioners, where Ryder says those professionals also have tools to write prescriptions and documentation. The company has vetted 1,200 practitioners and accepts only 35 percent of the practitioners who apply to be a part of the platform.

Maven also offers a family benefits platform to employers interested in providing an employee benefit for fertility, maternity, and postpartum care. In addition to the funding, Maven is launching a breast milk shipping service for new mothers.

鈥淚t鈥檚 an extension of our return to work platform,鈥� Ryder explained. 鈥淏eing a new mom when you鈥檙e going back to the workforce, you may be asked to go on a work trip while you鈥檙e pumping, and so it鈥檚 definitely a seamless extension of that.鈥�

Maven isn鈥檛 the only company with a milk shipping service. , a seed-stage company that raised in April, is also aiming to help mothers pump, store, pack, and ship their milk home with their full-service platform. On the telemedicine front, the company also faces a host of competitors. However, Ryder believes that its international presence and focus on becoming a 鈥渙ne stop shop鈥� for women鈥檚 healthcare and family planning is more attractive to both individual customers and businesses.

鈥淐ompanies themselves don鈥檛 want to be looking to a million different vendors out there,鈥� Ryder said.

With the funding, the company says it will double-down on adding more family benefits clients in the U.S. The company is also focusing on building partnerships with organizations and platforms in healthcare.
