Kiira Health — a Los Angeles-based healthcare technology company — announced recently that it closed a $4 million seed round of funding led by 500 Global and Forum VC with participation from Serena Ventures, California Healthcare Foundation, and others.
Kiira is known as a technology-enabled healthcare provider focused on addressing the needs of young multicultural women and empowering them to be more proactive about their health in their early formative years. And Kiira’s strategy incorporates a mobile app for 24/7 access to virtual care, personalized data-driven insights, and culture-centered telehealth solutions for gynecology, primary care, and mental health.
Earlier this year, Kiira had released its virtual clinic product for colleges and universities under Kiira Student Health and started working with colleges and universities across California and New York to provide its telemedicine solution amid the pandemic.
Kiira is planning to utilize this new round of funding to grow its dynamic and diverse team, as well as develop products that further the company’s goal to solve the existing women’s health issues in the country.
