The financing round was led by Lunar Ventures to support product commercialisation and clinical development.
"Menstruation is known as the fifth vital sign, but has historically been overlooked by the wearable sector, leaving millions without the data they need to understand and advocate for their own bodies. We envision a future where menstrual health is measured and understood as comprehensively as cardiovascular or metabolic health, giving people access to objective, actionable insights to better manage their health and wellbeing."
Peter Jones and four other panellists provided the backing in exchange for equity.
"When I received a clean sweep of all five Dragons, I was in shock. After eight years of hard work, it’s fair to say this was a very emotional moment for me."
The pre-seed round was supported by a crowdfunding campaign and angel investors.
"My lived experience showed me that mental-health care often lacks cultural context. At Tala Thrive, we’re building a space where people can be truly seen – not just heard. This funding isn’t just investment in a business; it’s a belief in change."
The oversubscribed angel round attracted 14 investors and will support trial phases ahead of a formal product launch.
"Every parent knows the feeling of being stuck in daily device battles – you set the rules for your child but their friends don’t have any, so suddenly you’re the mean parent. But I know from experience with my own children and their screen time that these rules are absolutely essential not just to preserve the conditions necessary for healthy childhood development, but to teach them good digital habits that’ll protect them while they’re online. That’s ultimately why I left a career in consulting to found Orbiri. I genuinely believe that you can’t win as a parent acting alone – we’re facing a systemic challenge that requires collective action."
The funding round was backed by Arāya Ventures and accompanies an expansion into 737 Boots stores nationwide.
"Women’s health has been sidelined for far too long. At Unfabled, we’ve shown that when you truly listen to women, you don’t just create better products – you create a movement. Boots expanding our footprint by over 1000% proves that women’s health is no longer niche. We’re proud to be building a brand, a community, and a category that retailers and investors can no longer ignore."
