Portfolio Spotlight 🔦 Amelia

We like to shine a light on our incredible, mentors, founders, or companies, and this time it's Amelia. The Health 10x alum, founded by Catherine Slogrove, is bringing a broader range of vaginal health products to women. Their first product is a probiotic pessary to help balance the microbiome and support vaginal health.

Amelia, a ground-breaking startup focusing on women’s health, has emerged as a beacon of change for vaginal health products. The UNSW Founders Health 10x Program alum is using innovation to work toward health inclusivity on a global scale.

At the helm of Amelia is Founder and Director Catherine Slogrove. Frustrated with the lack of options available for women, Slogrove worked with a dedicated team to create a science-driven vaginal probiotic.

Amelia has created a vaginally inserted probiotic with a specific focus on supporting a healthy vaginal microbiome, developed by scientists through thorough R&D. Spurred on by personal experience and determination to address a global issue, Slogrove hit the ground running as a Founder and embarked on a mission to revolutionise the world of vaginal health products for women.

Currently, 2.2 billion women experience recurring infections and clinical research has shown that populating the vagina with healthy bacteria makes a tangible difference.

Slogrove said that it was this extreme gap in research that inspired her to start Amelia.

“I started Amelia after realising the current R&D in vaginal health was woeful. I have lived experience with vaginal infections and wanted to create a business that supported women’s health at a moment of vulnerability.” 

Having recently completed the Health 10x program with UNSW Founders, Slogrove found the experience to be fruitful on a professional and personal level.

“I loved the connections to people who could genuinely help us scale up, and all my new founder friends.”

As they embark on this transformative quest, Amelia stands poised to empower women globally.

“We’ll be launching our vaginal pessary probiotic early next year then intent to expand our product portfolio and markets internationally,” Slogrove said.
