🚨🚨 NEW PORTFOLIO COMPANY ALERT 🚨🚨
Thrilled to announce that Five Seasons Ventures led the €5.5m Series A round of Her1; a Berlin based startup that is building the #1 digital female wellness brand, starting with where it all starts: the gut!
Not only does Her1 break taboos on topics like digestion and gut health, they also make scientifically backed products that are not just effective, but also look fantastic and come in convenient formats. After hunting the market for supplements and gut health for months, we are beyond excited we found this 'for women by women' ♀️ company with its amazing team.
We are looking forward to backing Chanyu Xu, Rita Ugwu and the rest of the stellar team on this journey ✨
Thank you Sifted for featuring our investment here.
