Allara

769 Broadway Suite 1019, New York, 10003, United States

Overview

Allara is a telehealth platform focused on diagnosing and treating women’s hormonal conditions, including PCOS, endometriosis, and hypothyroidism. Rachel Blank started the company after leaving her role at Ro more than four years ago, building a service that bundles appointments with specialists — doctors, nurse practitioners, dermatologists, and registered dietitians — so patients receive coordinated care in one place. The company began as an out-of-pocket subscription service but in the last year formed partnerships with major insurers including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, and United Healthcare, which now cover services in 10 states. Allara’s average patient age is 30, and it tends to serve younger women dealing with chronic conditions before infertility or menopause. In 2024 the company grew revenue fourfold. The team plans to use capital to expand insurance coverage nationwide and may eventually broaden offerings to infertility and menopause care. Allara operates a virtual care platform offering a monthly subscription that provides ongoing medical, lifestyle, nutrition, and emotional support for hormonal, metabolic and gynecologic conditions. The company assembles care teams including OB-GYNs, women's health nurse practitioners, endocrinologists and registered dietitians, and is advised by experts such as Dr. Heather Huddleston. Allara reports that 75% of patients start to feel better within one month and that its patient base grew fivefold in the past year. It has partnered with major insurers — Cigna, Anthem, Aetna, Empire and United Healthcare — across eight states, covering roughly 30 million lives. The startup has expanded from specialized PCOS care to broader comprehensive services and now offers research-backed supplements and mental health services. Financially, Allara raised a $10M Series A that brings its total capital raised to $17.5M. The company plans to use the proceeds to extend insurance coverage, launch partnerships with health systems, conduct clinical research and scale operations. Allara is a New York-based startup offering a collaborative care management platform for women with PCOS. The company bundles gynecologists, nutrition plans, mental-health support and other specialty services into a single membership. New members complete a virtual onboarding visit with a medical provider who can arrange labs (covered by insurance) and review medical history; prescriptions and lab costs go through traditional insurance. Allara charges $100 per month for access to its care team, provides quarterly check-ins, and offers ongoing text-based access to registered dietitians. The company launched out of stealth after operating as 'Astrid,' says it has more than 35,000 women in its community, and has begun seeing patients. Founder Rachel Blank, formerly a director at Ro, frames Allara as a specialty care platform focused on managing risk and centralizing care across clinicians.
