This funding brings Tiny Health's total investment to $13M, propelling the company's mission to transform gut health innovation and combat the rising epidemic of pediatric chronic conditions.

In a nation grappling with a pediatric chronic conditions crisis, where over 40% of children are affected by ailments like eczema, asthma, diabetes, obesity, and food allergies, Tiny Health's cutting-edge technology offers a beacon of hope. Founded in 2020 by a determined mother seeking solutions for her child's gut-related health issues, Tiny Health harnesses the expertise of microbiologists, pediatric physicians, and scientists to provide comprehensive gut and vaginal microbiome analyses.

Utilizing shotgun metagenomics sequencing, Tiny Health's tests detect over 120,000 microbes, offering actionable recommendations to optimize gut health and address imbalances.

The company's commitment to expanding its reach beyond mothers and babies to encompass the entire family unit underscores its dedication to holistic health solutions.

In addition to its core offerings, Tiny Health has introduced strain tracking technology, enabling the detection of probiotic strains in the gut and vaginal microbiome. This advancement provides valuable insights into the impact of supplements on individual health, fostering transparency and informed decision-making for customers.

Furthermore, Tiny Health has unveiled its B2B arm, Powered by Tiny, a partnership ecosystem designed to validate the efficacy of supplements through Tiny Health's testing kits. Collaborating with nutrition companies, supplement providers, and academic partners, Tiny Health is paving the way for microbial therapeutics that deliver tangible health benefits.
