Company Description

Play Health is building a perimenopause care platform to provide women with the tools they need to find relief from symptoms fast. It is led by technical, second-time, YC-backed founders Andrea Mazzocchi, PhD and Ian Miller, with an exit and a unicorn between them. Today, over 30 million women in the U.S. are experiencing perimenopause symptoms, spending an estimated $15B+ annually on symptom management across supplements, testing, primary care visits, and specialists - yet most leave frustrated with generic solutions that don't work. Our comprehensive perimenopause care platform is designed to grow with our users' needs. We’ve started with personalized, perimenopause-specific tracking, at-home hormone testing, and AI-driven analytics that deliver actionable insights. We then layer on services our users are already seeking - telemedicine, nutrition coaching, and specialized care - while connecting all their data, results, and protocols in one place. As we scale, every interaction enriches our dataset, creating a flywheel: better insights and personalization for users, while positioning us to build advanced women's health predictive models and partner with pharma companies developing new therapeutics and standards of care.
