Our take
Clue is a femtech app built to help people track their fertility cycle, which can be used as a tech-based birth control method. The company aims to encourage people with cycles to understand their bodies through its user-friendly app that offers in-depth information about their health.
Clue differentiates itself through its use of science to provide users with actionable insights regarding their health. Furthermore, it calculates fertility windows based on global averages instead of ovulation data, which makes its results more accurate. The company continues to collaborate with scientists and universities in order to ensure the product is as accurate as possible.
The company has not been immune to economic ups and downs, cutting staff in 2023, but this was followed by a successful fundraise that supported product expansion and further research. Further funding secured in 2026 will be invested in expanding global reach, among other things, as the company moves into a new phase of growth.
