Two Stanford grads raise $11M to build a noninvasive wearable for hormone tracking
Stanford graduates Jenny Duan and Abhinav Agarwal want to solve two hard problems: create a good-looking wearable and measure hormones to help women understand their health better. The pair is building a startup called Clair Health to track inflammation and bloating markers, energy levels, and cycle phase classification to give insights into cycle irregularities and perimenopause as well as hormonal fluctuations and how to navigate those changes. The company has raised $11.6 million in a funding round led by Khosla Ventures, with participation from startup accelerator program a16z speedrun, Brydge Club, Treehub, Cartan Capital, AGI House, Insiders VC, Anne Wojcicki, and Stephanie Coleman.
