Key takeaways

  • Midi has achieved a billion-dollar valuation after male venture capitalists initially dismissed menopause as niche.
  • Hormone-monitoring apps currently on the market are unreliable and the technology is not there yet.

Gynecologist Sally Greenwald has built a highly sought-after concierge medical practice among prominent Silicon Valley women, advocating that "sexual health is health." While she provides highly personalized hormone replacement therapies and advice to wealthy tech figures, her work highlights broader systemic issues in standard high-volume gynecological care. Meanwhile, the menopause care sector is seeing massive growth, with startups like Midi reaching a billion-dollar valuation despite initial skepticism from male venture capitalists.
