Evvy, a New York, NY-based female-founded startup that aims to build a new understanding of the female body, launched with $5m in seed funding.
Backers included General Catalyst, Box Group, Virtue, Human Ventures, G9 Ventures, BBG Ventures, and others. Margo Georgiadis, Executive-in-Residence at General Catalyst and former CEO of one of the world’s largest at-home testing companies, Ancestry, has joined Evvy’s board.

The Evvy Vaginal Health Test is available in all 50 states and performed as a simple, at-home swab. Test results are delivered back after 2 weeks in a personal, private online dashboard with actionable results, curated insights on how vaginal microbiome is related to holistic health & recommendations based on a unique health context.
As of July 14th, Evvy’s test will be available in all 50 states at evvy.com for $129.
The company is already planning to expand into new biomarkers and datasets.
