Comma

?? Comma, a Tennessee-based integrated period care company, has emerged from stealth with a $2 million seed round and the launch of its secure period tracking app, Sara. The funding round was raised with more than 50% of investors being women, including participation from Techstars venture fund. The company aims to combine software, sustainable period products, and laboratory diagnostics to advance reproductive healthcare. Their flagship product, Sara, is built as a progressive web app (PWA) that users access through a browser rather than an app store, ensuring metadata isn't tracked. ?? ?? "People shouldn't have to choose between a better understanding of their bodies and the threat of surveillance. That is why we built Comma with security and autonomy at the forefront. Even as policies restricting reproductive rights surface, we remain committed to protecting user data and building community. Consumers deserve better, period."

Reproductive health deserves better, and at Comma, we’re making that a reality. With our flagship product,?Sara?, we're redefining cycle tracking by moving beyond calendars to deliver real, personalized insights that connect users to the care they need—all while keeping their data safe and secure. We’re just getting started, and we’re grateful for the community and investors who believe in this mission. It’s time to treat menstrual health for what it is: healthcare. #ReproductiveHealth #Femtech #PeriodCare #CycleTracking #BetterPeriod #HealthTech #PersonalizedCare #MenstrualHealth #TechForGood #SaraApp #Comma

The idea of Comma was inspired by my global health work in Kenya. I was disturbed by the endless cycle of girls dropping out of school because they didn’t have period products that made sense for their waste management and sanitation infrastructure. Within my research, I learned how broken period care is globally, and sought to develop new solutions that could impact more people. Comma started out as an idea: a new way of thinking about menstruation that made the products you already know and use more secure, more sustainable, & more scientific. Today, Comma is real and available to the world. And I am so very excited we get to share it with you. My deepest gratitude and appreciation to our supporters, partners, and most of all our amazing team. We did this together. Read our live press release here:?https://lnkd.in/gbh4yjJW

Healthtech companies focused on women’s health are LESS likely to get funded if a woman is on the founding team. ?? A recent study from Ludovica Castiglia and FemHealth Insights exposes this ongoing issue in venture capital and healthcare. It’s a challenge I’ve often discussed with fellow #femalefounders since starting Comma. Women are creating solutions to the problems we face every day. Yet, we still have to fight to get our stories heard – or our businesses funded. It’s time to back founders who truly understand their markets. We need women in #healthtech and BIPOC entrepreneurs innovating for communities of color. Let’s challenge the status quo and create a future where every voice is valued and every solution is funded. https://lnkd.in/gsgnvRZr
