Numan, the online clinic built for men has closed a £10 million Series A funding round, led by Novator, along with Anthemis Exponential, Vostok New Ventures, and Colle Capital.
The start-up launched in February 2019 to specifically support men take action when it comes to their health and wellbeing. The company provides access to clinicians through online consultations and provides advice and support on a range of common health factors from hair loss, blood tests and supplements.
The company has also appointed Sam Shah, former director of transformation at NHSX as Chief Medical Strategy Officer. Sam will be leading the clinical team and developing the medical strategy for the start-up.
Sam said to HTN: “My focus will be on developing our plans to use novel technology as well as researching new conditions, diagnostics and treatments for our patients; and a key area of my work will be developing our electronic health systems.”
Sokratis Papafloratos, Numan’s Founder and CEO “We are building a new kind of healthcare company that gives men simple and accessible solutions for their health and wellbeing problems.”
“We help men understand their health better through a series of diagnostics and clinician consultations, and offer medical solutions that cover anything from Sexual Health, to Hair Loss, Smoking Cessation and General Wellbeing – all via a comprehensive digital health platform.”
“The COVID crisis is motivating men to take better care of themselves and we look forward to becoming a holistic health partner for them, backed by a world-class team of investors.”
Numan plans to use the funding to support its future growth plans, expand operations and grow the team.
