Pomelo Care Raises $92 Million at $1.7 Billion Valuation to Expand Beyond Maternity

The company touts claims-based outcomes that cut preterm births, ER visits and NICU stays, with coverage now reaching about 25 million people.

Overview

  • The Series C was led by Stripes with participation from Andreessen Horowitz, Atomico, BoxGroup, PLUS Capital and SV Angel.
  • Pomelo says it now supports nearly 7% of U.S. births through partnerships with major insurers such as UnitedHealthcare and Elevance and employer plans including Koch Inc.
  • The new funding will extend its 24/7, data-driven virtual care model into broader women’s and children’s health across life stages, including a recently launched midlife program.
  • Company-reported results presented at national conferences include a 37% drop in preterm births, 46% lower ER use, a 6.8-day shorter NICU stay, and a 15% reduction in Medicaid total cost of care.
  • Services are covered by insurance and free to patients under payer contracts using per-member-per-month fees, while revenue figures are not disclosed.
