What the business is
Femtech diagnostics: blood tests that identify future-complication risk early in pregnancy.
The bet
That a simple blood test in the first trimester can flag which pregnancies will develop serious complications — turning late-emergency care into early management.
Starting capital
€15m seed round.
How it started
The Spanish startup developed a blood test that can identify risks of future complications for mothers from the first trimester of pregnancy.
What has to be true
The test reads future-complication risk from the first trimester, when intervention options are widest.
A €15m seed is a sizable early bet for a Spanish femtech company, reported as a Sifted exclusive.
Standard pregnancy care tends to find complications late; the product's value is the time it buys.
What can be applied
Move the diagnosis earlier than the symptom: in pregnancy, predicting at week 12 changes decisions months before risk becomes emergency.
Aftermath
As of the report the company had new seed capital to develop its test; no clinical or commercial milestones were disclosed.
