I’m very happy to announce our latest investment at Dalus Capital: we’re backing Plenna, a leading Mexican femtech (or healthtech) startup building a hybrid platform for women’s health. Founded by Lorena Ostos and Giovanna Abramo, two outstanding entrepreneurs, Plenna is on a mission to revolutionize how women in Mexico access and experience healthcare.
Plenna just raised a $6 million Series A round to expand its footprint. The company currently operates four branches in Mexico City and plans to open 13 more clinics across the country. We’re thrilled to join this round alongside Mazapil, New Ventures, and Karla Berman—a Shark on Shark Tank México and an independent member of our Investment Committee at Dalus. As part of our investment, I’ll be joining Plenna’s board to support the team in this next stage of growth.
This is our third healthtech investment, following Clivi and eden, and we believe we’re still early in a wave of innovation. Since the pandemic, people across Latin America have become much more open to digital health solutions. Remote care brings clear advantages in convenience for patients and productivity for providers. And as health science and tech continue to converge, the next decade in healthtech looks very promising.
Why did we invest?
- A remarkable female founding team with top-tier consulting backgrounds and a passion for improving women’s health.
- A massive, underserved market—especially as public health services in Mexico have been in decline. Women’s health, particularly preventive care, has historically not been a priority, which creates a significant opportunity to deliver better, more proactive services.
- A hybrid model combining physical clinics and digital services, designed for prevention, personalization, and today’s evolving consumer behavior.
We recently hosted a first Healthtech Summit, bringing together startups, investors, and experts to explore the future of healthcare in Latin America. This investment in Plenna is a clear example of how we’re putting those ideas into action.
At Dalus, we invest in companies driving inclusion, productivity, and climate impact. Healthtech is a perfect example of inclusion at scale. We’re proud to support founders like Lore and Gio who are leading the charge.
