Frieda Health, a Berlin-based femtech startup established in 2020, is carving a niche in the underserved market of menopause management. Founded by Valentina Ullrich, who serves as CEO, alongside Dr. Kai Schulze-Wundling and Thanh Schrader-Nguyen, the company is positioned as Germany's first digital clinic for menopause. Ullrich, with a decade of experience in helping startups grow, leads a multidisciplinary team of experts in health data, software development, gynecology, and psychology.
The company is addressing the significant treatment and support gap for women navigating menopause, a demographic that is on an upward trajectory. Frieda Health's core offering is a holistic digital health platform designed for women aged 45 and over. The platform provides comprehensive support by integrating medical expertise with psychological and emotional guidance to address menopause as a multifaceted life stage. It offers a range of services, including scientifically based online courses for stress management, digital consultations, and a planned online therapy for menopausal symptoms. This app-based behavioral change program also features guided meditations and individual coaching. One of the key aspects of its business model is that its online therapy can be prescribed by doctors, making it accessible through the health system.
In November 2023, Frieda Health secured a significant €2.5 million in a pre-seed funding round led by Maximon, a longevity-focused company builder. This capital injection is earmarked for intensifying research and development, refining the digital platform, and expanding its user base. The partnership with Maximon underscores the growing recognition of menopause as a critical starting point for age-related health issues in women and validates Frieda Health's mission to address this overlooked market. The company's long-term vision extends beyond menopause, aiming to help women extend their healthspan and improve their quality of life in later years.
