From OB-GYNs to nutritionists, mental health specialists to lactation consultants, Maven connects its users with doctors and other healthcare professionals via online consultations, video appointments and private messaging. It also provides employers with specialized plans for their employees.

Maven was launched in 2015 by founder and CEO Kate Ryder, a former journalist turned venture capitalist who saw a pressing need for fertility, maternity, and return-to-work care  for women and new parents in the workforce.

To date, Maven has built the largest and most diverse network of practitioners in its category, representing more than 30 specialties and 350 subspecialties across women’s and family health. Services include fertility support, maternal mental health, genetic counseling and much more.
