South East Angels backs AI-driven women’s health startup Anya

South East Angels, an investor network based in Brighton, has invested in Gloucestershire startup Anya.

Anya is an AI companion which provides round-the-clock health advice for women – particularly in the critical first 1001 days postpartum – via a mobile app.

“Anya is perfectly positioned to address the critical need for accessible, credible and personalised healthcare and companionship,” said Kristina Perckaite, director of South East Angels.

“We’re proud to support the team as they scale their vision to support women’s health globally.”

The service is now expanding to cover all aspects of women’s health, including menstruation, fertility and menopause.

It works with healthcare providers – including the NHS – as well as employers and local authorities.

Dr Chen Mao Davies, founder of Anya, added: “We’re privileged to receive the funding and support from South East Angels to make 24/7 women’s health available to everyone.”
