Peppy

128 City Road, London, Greater London, EC1V 2NX, United Kingdom

Overview

Founded in London in 2018, Peppy offers employer-funded, individualized health services around menopause, fertility, pregnancy and early parenthood delivered through a mobile app. Employees access experts via instant messaging, group chat, video consultations, live events, articles, videos, programs and communities. The service emphasizes one-to-one support such as personal video consultations and has expanded to cover endometriosis and PCOS. Peppy sells to corporate customers who then offer the service free to employees; clients include Accenture, Adobe, Canada Life, Disney and Marsh McLennan. Management says the company already dominates Europe’s employer-funded gender-based healthcare market and is using new capital to scale internationally. The company cites broader tailwinds including digitization of healthcare and rising demand as drivers of growth, referencing a $15.4B global menopause market and projected continued growth. Peppy offers a digital, expert-led health platform focused on major life and family moments: menopause, fertility, pregnancy and early parenthood. Its services are delivered through a secure mobile app with instant messaging, group chat, video consultations, live events, evidence-based articles, videos, structured programs and peer communities. Peppy sells to employers who integrate the service into employee health and benefits programs, citing customers such as BNP Paribas, Santander, DFS, Wickes, NHS trusts and the University of Sheffield. The company reports growth of about 20% month-over-month for the past 12 months. Peppy was founded in London in 2018 and is positioning itself to expand employer adoption as awareness and demand for targeted employee benefits accelerates. The founders say the product aims to provide personalized, long-term support that helps employees navigate options and return to work, beyond what typical GP visits or one-size-fits-all policies offer. Peppy offers employers a platform that connects employees with accredited experts for one-to-one chat support, mental health practitioners, moderated peer group chats, online group exercises and bespoke phone and video consultations (e.g., breastfeeding, baby sleep, menopause). The service is aimed at supporting people through critical life transitions and strengthening workforce resilience. All experts on the platform have completed accredited training and meet relevant professional-body requirements. Peppy is already working with a wide range of employers and is currently available to employees in the UK only. The company plans to expand its team and the platform, adding new fertility and expanded mental-health support. Funding will be used to grow tech, product, marketing and sales functions to support that expansion.
