Women's health company Evvy announced a $40 million Series B funding round led by Catalio Capital Management. The capital will support the company's mission to advance women's health research through vaginal microbiome data.

Evvy collects and analyzes vaginal microbiome data to identify patterns linked to women's health conditions. The company's platform enables researchers and clinicians to better understand reproductive health issues and develop targeted treatments. The Series B funding represents significant investor confidence in the microbiome research space, particularly applications focused on women's health—an area historically underfunded in medical research. Evvy's approach addresses a gap in clinical understanding. The vaginal microbiome plays a key role in fertility, pregnancy outcomes, and infection prevention, yet remains understudied compared to other microbiomes. With the new capital, Evvy plans to expand its research partnerships, grow its user base, and accelerate product development. The company will also likely increase efforts to translate microbiome insights into clinical applications. Catalio Capital Management's leadership of the round signals growing institutional interest in reproductive health technology and data-driven approaches to women's medicine.
