Polari Group is a British sexual wellness startup developing medical and pleasure platforms for anorectal health.
Polari Group has secured $539k in pre-seed funding to advance its regulatory pathway and expand its team. The investment round was backed by Ventures Together, Ada Ventures, Chasing Rainbows, and Little Green Bamboo Capital, alongside a group of international angel investors.
Founded in 2023, the startup focuses on addressing stigma and improving health outcomes in anorectal care. The newly raised capital will also support preparations for establishing a manufacturing line and reaching a broader user base.
From the founder
"Shame lives in silence and so does the lack of innovation. My mission is to empower people to have the sexual lives they want with the best long-term outcomes for their health. Because of stigma, anal health and pleasure have not benefited from the cutting-edge innovation available in the 21st century and there are still millions of people whose sexual experiences have been marginalised and who must use DIY solutions. Polari aims to change that."
Anna Vybornova
CEO at Polari Group
Investor perspective
"Polari Group isn’t just an investable startup with great prospective returns, but has the potential to be a movement that disrupts the entire queer community, revolutionising the Med/SexTech space. I only invest in impactful innovation – and that’s what Anna and Henry are wholeheartedly building."
