Mayo Clinic Ventures is among the investors in a $5.4 million funding round launching virtual fertility startup Turtle Health into eight states, as per a news report.
Turtle Health is a virtual gynecology clinic with the ability to offer a fully-at-home virtual consult, backed by a suite of physician-prescribed tests and custom reporting.
It provides at-home fertility tests and recently partnered with Rochester, Minn.-based Mayo Clinic, whose in vitro fertilization specialists are offering Turtle Health's tools to their patients.
"After the challenges of having a successful pregnancy, I got my fertility tested at an IVF clinic," Turtle Health CEO and founder Amy Zwanziger said in a statement. "At the time, I was leading digital clinical trials for Sanofi, and was frustrated to see how analog fertility evaluation was — the choices were between incomplete at-home testing or invasive and expensive in-clinic options. I wanted to create something that I could trust, and use myself."
The investment round was led by Switch Ventures.
