Founded in 2020 by serial entrepreneurs Guadalupe Lazaro and Rio Hoe, Ease focuses on women’s sexual and reproductive healthcare. Its app offers online consultations, tracks the use of contraception, and allows users to discreetly get birth control pills or test equipment for sexually transmitted infections.
The company currently has more than 20,000 users and is on track to hit 15% monthly revenue growth.
Ease plans to use the fresh funds to launch new products that focus on improving women’s health conditions, such as vaginal infections, pre-menstrual syndrome, and urinary tract issues. On top of that, it also wants to expand the team and the reach of its services.
