Company Description

MEET MAE

Mae is a venture-backed digital health solution on a mission to improve the health and quality of life for mothers, babies, and those who love them. Mae has created a space where complete digital care meets culturally-competent on-the-ground support. We address access gaps and bolster physical and emotional well-being through continuous engagement, risk assessment, early symptom awareness, and a community-led model of support for our users.

Digital solutions to address cultural deficits in care are at the forefront of femtech innovation and Mae is quickly gaining traction with healthcare payers as a viable solution to address the implicit, explicit, and structural biases that hinder equitable maternal health. In addressing whole-person care and focusing on self-advocacy, education, and community, we seek to improve the outcomes for mothers and birthing people, while also reducing clinical costs of care, at impactful scale.

  • Solution-Oriented. We make every problem an opportunity to improve.
  • Curious. We demonstrate focused curiosity.
  • Mission-connected. We ensure mamas and doulas are heard.
  • Adaptable. We learn, adapt, and execute.
  • Data-driven. We quantify the uncertainty.
  • Accountable. We own our decisions and their outcomes.
  • Transparent. We don’t hide the hard stuff.
