Company Description: inne
editAbout inne
editinne is a medical technology startup that specializes in developing innovative solutions for women's health and fertility. Founded in 2017 by Eirini Rapti, who previously worked in healthcare, inne aims to provide women with better insights into their hormone levels and reproductive health through technology.
Key Products and Services
editThe main product of inne is the inne Minilab, a home-based test that measures progesterone levels in saliva, helping women track their menstrual cycle and fertility. The system consists of the inne STRIPS, the inne READER, and the inne APP, which together enable comprehensive and personalized monitoring of hormonal health. This technology has already helped thousands of women in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and the United Kingdom better understand and manage their health[1][2].
Mission and Values
editThe mission of inne is to give women the flexibility and freedom to assess and understand their health themselves. The company is committed to improving the severely neglected area of women's health through scientifically-based and technology-driven solutions. The core values of inne include "Make a difference", "Show compassion", and "Learn continuously", highlighting the company's commitment to making a positive impact on women's lives and continuously learning and improving[2].
Sustainability Goals and Initiatives
editinne is strongly committed to promoting women's health and advocating for better representation of women in medical research. The company has pointed out that only 1% of the 198 billion USD invested in pharmaceutical research in 2020 was spent on aspects of women's health outside of breast cancer. By developing and providing innovative self-help solutions, inne aims to close this information gap and democratize access to insights and information about women's health worldwide[1].
Funding and Expansion
editinne recently raised 10 million USD from a consortium led by DSM Venturing, bringing the total funding of the company to 18.8 million USD. These funds will be used to further develop the Minilab and the platform, serve more areas of women's health, and expand into the USA[1].
Through its innovative technology, strong mission, and dedicated values, inne positions itself as a leading Femtech startup that helps women worldwide understand and manage their health and fertility in a new and personalized way.
