Our As the first menstrual and reproductive health app to invite the community to invest and become co-owners, we’re taking it a step further. We’re happy to see the response from so many women investors – people who instinctively understand the problem we’re solving and why Clue is so well-positioned to redefine access to better health and care.

This campaign is one of our most important brings stakeholders – our community – even closer to our product development.
