5. Manual🤔 “raises” £29M to expand its offering from erectile dysfunction to weight loss💊🚀.
It hasn't been easy to bring you this news, but😅… Manual, the British men's health startup, has closed a funding round of £29 million, led by Felix Capital, Cherry Ventures, and Octopus Ventures💸. Since its foundation in 2018, Manual has provided treatments for conditions such as erectile dysfunction, hair loss, and low testosterone. Now, the company is expanding its reach with services such as hair transplants and new medications for weight loss, like Ozempic and Wegovy.
With this injection of capital, the startup plans to accelerate its expansion in Brazil, where it has been operating since 2021. According to George Pallis, CEO and co-founder, Manual's mission is to improve access to quality healthcare in underserved markets, especially outside major cities🌍.
The platform has grown significantly since its last funding round in 2021, when it raised $30 million. Back then, the company only offered treatments for erectile dysfunction and hair loss. Now, with over 500,000 patients treated, Manual is exploring new areas of care such as weight loss with GLP-1 class medications, which have gained popularity worldwide due to their effectiveness.
The growing demand for these treatments has led to shortages in Europe, as manufacturers prioritize the U.S. market due to its higher prices. However, Manual continues to push for its growth in Europe and Latin America, helping thousands of men to comprehensively address their health and well-being🧔.
