In 2021, Evvy launched the at-home vaginal microbiome test leveraging metagenomic sequencing to elucidate what’s up down there. Insights from their test led to the expansion of Evvy’s innovative vaginal health platform, combining state-of-the-art testing, precision care, and proactive tracking to give women and people with vaginas the healthcare they deserve. Through this platform, Evvy is building the datasets necessary to revolutionize reproductive and female-focused healthcare.
Founded by Priyanka Jain, Laine Bruzek, and Pita Navarro, the Evvy team reflects talent from across disciplines with decades of experience at organizations like UCSF, Stanford and Harvard including a group of leading OB/GYNs, and vaginal microbiome researchers.
Since launch, Evvy has generated the world’s most comprehensive dataset on the vaginal microbiome, completed an IRB-approved clinical study to validate the efficacy of Evvy’s care platform and created and celebrated two Equal Research Days (like Equal Pay Day but for the gender health gap), mobilizing hundreds of doctors, celebrities, patients, and investors.

Amboy Street is excited to support Evvy alongside notable co-investors Left Lane Capital, General Catalyst and Labcorp Venture Fund. With the funding, Evvy will continue to build out their R&D platform and precision vaginal healthcare offering — which now includes STI testing & treatment.
Carli Sapir of Amboy Street Ventures is excited for what the future holds for Evvy: “Understanding the vaginal microbiome is imperative to understanding overall wellbeing of women. As the number one reason that women go to the doctor is for vaginal discomfort, Evvy is clearly meeting a huge unmet need. I am thrilled to support Evvy as the founders take massive strides to close the gender health gap.”
