The startup provides at-home fertility tests and recently partnered with Rochester, Minn.-based Mayo Clinic, whose in vitro fertilization specialists are offering Turtle Health’s tools to their patients. 

“After the challenges of having a successful pregnancy, I got my fertility tested at an IVF clinic,” Turtle Health CEO and founder Amy Zwanziger said in a statement. “At the time, I was leading digital clinical trials for Sanofi, and was frustrated to see how analog fertility evaluation was — the choices were between incomplete at-home testing or invasive and expensive in-clinic options. I wanted to create something that I could trust, and use myself.”

The investment round was led by Switch Ventures.

The funding news was first reported Dec. 6 by Axios.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
