Anja Health, led by founder Kathryn Cross and based in Los Angeles, raised $4.5M in a seed funding round. The company is a personalized doctor-backed cord blood bank that freezes umbilical cord, cord tissue, and placenta stem cells for future disease treatment purposes. Anja sends expectant parents a collection kit ahead of birth; after delivery users call the number on the kit and a medical courier picks up the collection kit anywhere in the United States and delivers it to a lab within 72 hours for processing. The service is compatible with up to two minutes of delayed cord clamping. Processed samples are stored in liquid nitrogen for long-term preservation. The company says it will use the funds to bolster its executive team, drive strategic growth, and continue to foster its community and reach and inform parents-to-be.
