Femasys Inc., a leading biomedical innovator making fertility and non-surgical permanent birth control more accessible and cost-effective to women worldwide, recently announced the closing of $8 million in financing. This funding will provide critical resources to accelerate commercialization efforts and strengthen the company’s ability to address significant unmet needs in women’s reproductive health. To underscore this momentum, Femasys’ largest shareholder, Jorey Chernett, also provided commentary on the company’s mission and recent milestones.
“Ramping commercialization of our FemaSeed® and FemBloc® offerings remains our highest priority. This financing enables us to execute on our strategy, achieve near-term milestones, strengthen our market presence and accelerate toward meaningful revenue growth,” said Kathy Lee-Sepsick, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Femasys, Inc. “We are especially grateful for the continued support of our two largest shareholders, including Jorey Chernett, whose belief in our mission affirms the long-term value we are creating for investors and the women we serve.”
Jorey Chernett, CEO and Founder of Clearpath and Managing Member of Pointillist Family Office, commented, “FemBloc addresses a long overdue need in women’s health. My family experienced the greatest loss when my mother passed away during a tubal ligation surgery, which was the only option available to women for permanent contraception until FemBloc. No woman should ever die from an elective procedure, and FemBloc eliminates this risk. As a long-time healthcare executive and entrepreneur, I also recognize the important work Femasys is advancing in infertility care. Their FemaSeed product fills a critical void in the market and offers another groundbreaking option for women. I am honored to support this mission, and as an experienced investor, I am confident my commitment will help bring these transformative products to women while creating meaningful value for shareholders.”
