Rachel Blank, influenced by her father, an OB-GYN, assumed women's health was adequately addressed until diagnosed with PCOS. She realized the lack of specialized care in this area, leading her to embark on a journey of self-research and treatment. This experience inspired her to establish Allara, a telehealth platform focused on hormonal conditions like PCOS and endometriosis. In just 14 months, Allara has expanded its services significantly and secured substantial funding, partnering with major insurance providers to increase accessibility to outcomes-driven care for young women.
"There weren't a lot of places for me to go, because the concept of a specialist for my condition didn't exist," she told TechCrunch.
Allara started as a subscription service for which patients paid out of pocket. But over the last year the company formed partnerships with most major health insurance providers."
