Episode 11 – Fundraising Founder: Nina van Schaick- Peripear
In this episode of AtVenture Dealflow, host Laurie Lancee speaks with Nina van Schaick – co-Founder and COO of Peripear
PeriPear is a femtech medtech startup focused on preventing perineal trauma during vaginal birth.
Despite strong clinical evidence showing that birth injuries can be reduced by up to 50%, prevention has failed to scale in daily clinical practice.
PeriPear addresses this gap with a non-invasive medical device designed to fit existing clinical workflows, without requiring behaviour change from women or clinicians.
In this episode, Nina shares how her background as a midwife led her to build a scalable, evidence-based solution for one of the most under-addressed issues in women’s health, and what it takes to build a capital-efficient femtech company in a regulated healthcare market.
Key Metrics: PeriPear
- Sector: FemTech / MedTech / Women’s Health
- Business Model: B2B medical device (hospitals & birth centres)
