Two Stanford grads believe the $100 billion wearables market has a major blind spot: women’s health.<\/p>\n

Investors seem to agree.<\/p>\n

Clair Health, a San Francisco startup cofounded by 22-year-old CEO Jenny Duan and 24-year-old CTO Abhinav Agarwal, has raised $11.6 million in seed funding to develop a bracelet that tracks women’s hormones.<\/p>\n

Competitors like Oura, Whoop, and Fitbit have incorporated women’s health features in recent years, including cycle tracking. But Clair says it was built around monitoring hormones, arguing they play a critical role in fertility, menopause, and overall health.<\/p>\n

“Historically, we’ve seen this category as something that’s been deemed niche,” said Duan. “It’s about time that a company really with women’s health at its core starts building towards this mission.”<\/p>\n

“If hormones are the underlying operating system of women’s health, then why is there not a better way of tracking them?” Agarwal added.<\/p>\n

The funding was led by Khosla Ventures with participation from a16z Speedrun, Brydge Club, Treehub, Cartan Capital, AGI House, Insiders VC, and Anne Wojcicki.<\/p>\n

The Clair Health bracelet uses a proprietary math model that maps how the brain and ovaries work together to regulate hormones.<\/p>\n

Funds will support further research and accelerate the launch of the device and its companion app in November. Clair has seven full-time employees, and about 14 contract and part-time workers, Agarwal said.<\/p>\n

Duan and Agarwal met during a spring break trip organized by Stanford and connected over shared interests. Duan had a background in women’s health advocacy and nonprofit work, while Agarwal previously worked on a glucose-monitoring startup.<\/p>\n

Clair says its first production run of 5,000 devices has sold out, and more than 25,000 people are on a waitlist. Early orders were priced at $295 and included a free subscription to the app. The device will ultimately retail for $369 with a paid subscription.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the pitch deck Clair Health used to raise its $11.6 million seed. Slides have been redacted so that the deck can be shared publicly.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
