That’s why more than four years ago, Blank left her job as a director of strategy at Ro, an online clinic that offers treatment for erectile dysfunction and menopause, to start Allara, a telehealth platform for women who suffer from hormone conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, and hypothyroidism. At Allara, patients receive in one place the type of care that Blank had to piecemeal together when she was first diagnosed with PCOS.
And it seems that the startup’s approach is working, especially for treating young women — the company’s average patient’s age is 30, Blank says. In 2024, Allara grew its revenue by four-times, and has just raised $26 million in Series B funding led by Index Ventures, with participation of GV just 14 months after raising a $10 million Series A.
