Juniper: Innovative Reproductive Healthcare Insurance Provider Raises £1.5M
Ambra Zhang (CEO) and Sam Pratt (CPTO) founded Juniper, a London, UK-based reproductive healthcare insurance provider that recently raised £1.5M in Pre-Seed funding. The round was led by Insurtech Gateway, with participation from 2100 Ventures, Exceptional Ventures, and Heartfelt, alongside angel investors Vera Baker, Charles Delingpole, Matt Cooper, Tara Reeves, and others. The company intends to use the funds to triple the team, drive growth, and support its pilot phase leading to its official launch.
Founded in 2023, Juniper offers comprehensive insurance for genitals, covering a range of otherwise uncovered conditions, such as PCOS, menopause, erectile dysfunction, family planning, and gender dysphoria, among others.
It ensures inclusive access for companies and employees with services that include testing, routine checkups, education, community support, medical reimbursement, and care navigation. Ambra Zhang stated, “I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) early on, and my corporate health insurance didn’t cover it, as PCOS was classified as a chronic reproductive condition. So, every year, I would pay £1,000 out of pocket to see my gynaecologist and get my prescription."
Ambra Zhang continued, “Juniper bridges this gap by providing end-to-end reproductive health support for employees and offers tailored, high-quality insurance products for employers and brokers. Our digital platform aims to revolutionize the insurance industry by meeting the unmet needs of the new generation.” With this innovative approach to reproductive healthcare insurance, Juniper is poised to make a significant impact on the industry and help individuals access the care they need.
