Pomelo Care is a virtual medical practice that provides 24/7 personalized care to improve maternal and newborn health outcomes. The company supports patients from preconception through the first year of the baby's life, offering services spanning prenatal care, nutrition, lactation, and mental health. Pomelo uses data to proactively identify risks and leverages evidence-based protocols to address the root causes of poor outcomes, with the aim of reducing complications, preterm births, and avoidable costs. The company collaborates with patients' existing OB/GYN providers and leading health organizations like Penn Medicine and Mount Sinai Health System.
Pomelo Care recently raised $33 million in Seed and Series A funding led by Andreessen Horowitz in 2023, with participation from investors including First Round Capital, SV Angel, and industry leaders like Adam Boehler, former Director of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation. The company was founded in 2021 by CEO Marta Kerns, who previously held executive roles at Flatiron Health.
Joining Pomelo offers the opportunity to work with a diverse team of clinicians and technologists on a mission to improve maternal and neonatal care. As Pomelo aims to cover two million lives this year across 44 states, employees have the potential to make a meaningful impact on families across the country, especially in underserved communities facing the greatest barriers to care. To achieve its mission, Pomelo will need to effectively integrate its virtual care model with the practices of obstetrics providers and health systems nationwide, ensuring smooth coordination for patients at all risk levels. Demonstrating the cost savings and outcome improvements of its 24/7, preventive approach through rigorous data tracking will also be key to sustaining and growing health plan and employer partnerships over time. While navigating these challenges, Pomelo is well-positioned to transform maternal and neonatal care with its innovative model and strong backing.
