Hesta Health

Hesta Health is a UK-based healthcare technology company focused on addressing critical gaps in women's health, starting with postnatal care. The company launched in July 2025 with £2 million in pre-seed funding in a round led by Eka Ventures.

Hesta Health was co-founded by Dr. Sujitha Selvarajah, an NHS obstetrics and gynaecology doctor, and Amanda Cupples, a former executive at Airbnb and Babylon Health. The founders aim to create a healthcare system that proactively supports women's health needs, which they note often increase after childbirth just as systemic support diminishes.

The company is developing a digital-first platform that provides integrated clinical and specialist support for women and birthing parents within the first two years after birth. This service combines general medical support with specialised care in areas such as pelvic health, breastfeeding, and mental health. The business model utilizes a hybrid approach, offering technology-driven care with the option of in-person support when necessary to ensure accessibility. The platform targets a significant market opportunity, citing research that women spend more of their lives in ill health than men, which represents a substantial economic loss globally.
