Our take
Numan is a digital health startup focusing on treatments for men. The company initially offered a range of solutions for erectile dysfunction (ED) and hair loss, both themes related to male self-esteem that are often avoided and ignored.
More recently, the company has expanded into areas like premature ejaculation and weight loss, alongside a comprehensive suite of diagnostic blood tests, live doctor consultations, and various personalised supplements. In practice, Numan’s platform enables free online medical consultations, clinically proven treatments, and personalised treatment plan.
Numan will be using new resources for further investments in technology and expansion of operations. It's also made a number of key senior hires recently – including Sam Shah, former Chief Executive of the digital arm of the NHS, NHSX, as Chief Medical Strategy Officer.
