Women-focused digital health platform Health In Her HUE secures $3m funding to fuel growth

Health In Her HUE, the premier digital health platform aimed at reducing racial health disparities for Black women and women of color through technology, media and community, has raised a $3 million seed funding round to fuel its growth by investing in talent and building out new programs and products.

The funding was led by Seae Ventures and included participation from Johnson & Johnson Impact Ventures (an impact fund within the Johnson & Johnson Foundation), Morgan Stanley Inclusive Ventures Lab, Genius Guild, HBCU Founders Fund, Stanford Impact Fund and a select group of angel investors.

Health In Her HUE was formed in 2018 to connect Black women and women of color with culturally sensitive and responsive healthcare providers and content to support them with accessing better care to improve outcomes. The company was founded by CEO Ashlee Wisdom who brings over a decade of experience working across the healthcare industry in a range of leadership roles.

Ashlee Wisdom, Founder and CEO, Health In Her HUE: "I'm proud of the impact Health In Her HUE has achieved thus far to ensure Black women and women of color have a safe space to prioritize their holistic health and well-being. I know first-hand the challenges women of color face to receive equal quality of care while not feeling seen and heard by the healthcare system. Health In Her HUE is uniquely positioned to address the existing racial health disparities and connect our members with providers who are committed to hearing and understanding their unique lived experiences, while providing quality care accordingly."

Arianne Kidder, Partner, Seae Ventures: "Ashlee's passion and vision for connecting Black women and women of color to culturally competent care is what drew our attention initially. Her focus on this vision, and ability to create a community, a team and a platform to make this vision a reality is what keeps us excited about Health In Her HUE and Ashlee's leadership. We were thrilled to lead this round of financing and look forward to continuing to support Ashlee on this journey to help more Black women and women of color access the health care providers, services and resources that are committed to their health and well-being."

This marks Health In Hue HUE's second round of funding. In 2021, the company initially raised $1.2 million in a pre-seed round to develop the platform. To date, the company's total investment amounts to $4.2 million.
