Juniper, a London, UK-based reproductive healthcare insurance provider, raised £1.5mn in Pre-Seed funding.
In brief:
- The company intends to use the funds to triple the team, drive growth, and support its pilot phase leading to its official launch.
- Founded in 2023 by Ambra Zhang (CEO) and Sam Pratt (CPTO), Juniper offers comprehensive insurance for genitals, covering a range of otherwise uncovered conditions.
- It ensures inclusive access for companies and employees with services that include testing, routine checkups, education, community support, medical reimbursement, and care navigation.
What does this mean?
Ambra Zhang said: “I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) early on, and my corporate health insurance didn’t cover it, as PCOS was classified as a chronic reproductive condition. So, every year, I would pay £1,000 out of pocket to see my gynaecologist get my prescription. Juniper bridges this gap by providing end-to-end reproductive health support for employees and offers tailored, high-quality insurance products for employers and brokers. Our digital platform aims to revolutionise the insurance industry by meeting the unmet needs of the new generation.”
