California-based maternity clinic Millie has raised a $12 million Series A from an all-female-led group of investors, including RH Capital, TMV, and Melinda French Gates’ Pivotal Ventures. Founded by Anu Sharma in 2022, Millie offers comprehensive maternity and gynecology care, incorporating postpartum coaching, mental health support, and nutrition counseling.
A Personal Journey to Innovation
Sharma was inspired to launch Millie after experiencing pregnancy complications in 2019. Her background—being the child of a doctor—helped her recognize symptoms that medical professionals overlooked. This experience led her to build a maternity clinic designed to provide the support she wished she had received.
Millie operates on a hybrid care model, combining:
In-person clinics for direct care
Virtual visits & remote monitoring for continuous support
A proprietary app that enhances patient engagement
AI-powered workflows to improve efficiency and care coordination
Sharma emphasized the company’s commitment to working closely with major insurance providers, health system partners, and payors, ensuring accessible, high-quality maternity care.
Future Plans
With nearly $19 million in total funding, Millie will use this latest investment to:
Expand its physical presence across California
Enhance its tech-driven services
Grow its healthcare network partnerships
Millie joins a growing field of tech-enabled maternity care providers like Quilted Health and Oula, aiming to revolutionize maternal healthcare with a patient-centered, accessible, and scalable approach.
