Maven Clinic launched in 2014 as the first digital health company focused specifically on women’s and family health. The platform provides virtual care across fertility, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, pediatrics, menopause, and adoption — areas that traditional employer health benefits often underserve.
Maven operates primarily as an employer benefit. Companies like Microsoft, L’Oreal, and Snap contract with Maven to provide their employees access to the platform’s network of over 3,000 healthcare providers, including OB-GYNs, midwives, mental health therapists, lactation consultants, and fertility specialists.
Patients use the Maven app to book video appointments, message providers, access educational content, and track health milestones. The platform assigns a dedicated Care Advocate to each member — a real person who coordinates care, navigates insurance questions, and helps members find the right specialists.
Maven’s data shows that its programs reduce C-section rates, NICU admissions, and preterm births among members. These outcomes translate into significant cost savings for employers, which is a key selling point. The company estimates that its fertility and maternity programs save employers an average of $3,000-$5,000 per enrolled family.
The company raised $300 million in a 2024 funding round that valued it at $1.7 billion, making it the most valuable women’s health startup. Maven serves over 2,000 employer clients and has supported over 15 million members.
In a healthcare landscape where family planning and women’s health are increasingly politicized, Maven positions itself as a consistent, accessible care option regardless of where a patient lives or what their local healthcare landscape looks like.
