“We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with Vesta in this next phase of growth,” Annie Lamont, cofounder and managing partner of Oak HC/FT, said in a statement. “The COVID-19 pandemic put a new focus on the importance of home care, as well as the strain on caregivers and the people who rely on them.

The newly raised capital will go towards expanding its team and enhancing its infrastructure technology.

Origin, an online or in-person women’s health physical therapy provider, recently announced the closing of a seed round for an undisclosed amount. Brand Foundry Ventures and the Blue Venture Fund co-led the round.

The platform specializes in pelvic floor, musculoskeletal conditions, physiological and hormonal changes that oftentimes plague women. It provides PT sessions that are covered by some insurance plans, as well as educational information and community experiences.

"If there were a health issue affecting one in three men in America, there would be a practice like ours on every corner," Carine Carmy, cofounder and CEO of Origin, said in a statement. "Instead, one-third of adult women are suffering silently with extremely common health issues, and it's costing our health system billions of dollars each year.

“Origin's growth is critical to reach more women and providers, to normalize pelvic floor physical therapy and increase access to non-invasive, cost-effective care. By elevating the standard of care, we aim to break the cycle of minimizing women's pain, today and for generations to come."

With its seed round funds, Origin has opened up two new physical locations in California and is planning for nationwide expansion for its virtual care offerings. Additionally, the investments will help Origin grow its provider network.
