Trellis Health Emerges From Stealth With $1.8M Pre-Seed Funding to Provide Women With Unrivaled Access to Health Data

Launched by Ex-Illumina Commercial Leader Estelle Giraud, Trellis Health is a Digital Platform Driving Generational Health Progress

Trellis Health, a digital health platform designed to empower women with personalized, proactive care, today emerged from stealth. The company is launching with $1.8M in pre-seed funding from Palette Ventures, Swizzle Ventures, NEXTBLUE, Suncoast Ventures, and Sundial Foundation, along with high-profile healthcare individuals, including Care.com founder Sheila Marcelo, the co-founders of Flo Health, Yuri Gurski and Andrei Kouzel, Mike Prytkov - the founder and CEO of Simple, Naseem Sayani, angels and executives from ARM, Microsoft AI and others.

Trellis Health was established to address the glaring gaps in women’s health. Despite advances in medical technology and research, maternal mortality rates in the U.S. remain the highest of any high-income nation, postpartum care remains nearly nonexistent, and managing health through life’s pivotal stages remains an overwhelming and fragmented experience. With more than 100 million people lacking a primary care provider, women are often left to navigate these challenges alone, turning to Google searches, urgent care visits, and fragmented records to manage not only their health but also their families’ health.

Estelle Giraud and co-founder and CTO Ryan Nabat, are creating Trellis Health to address these challenges by offering an AI-driven digital health platform that acts as a modern-day family doctor, integrating medical data, providing intelligent insights, and ensuring continuous support through pregnancy and beyond. By integrating years of an individual’s medical history, fragmented health data is transformed into actionable, easy-to-understand timelines. Connected to more than 50,000 healthcare providers nationwide, Trellis’s platform provides a new depth of understanding, creating an avenue for women and families to establish generational health.

"For too long, women have been left to navigate their health, and their families' health, without adequate tools, support, or information,” said Estelle Giraud, CEO and Co-founder of Trellis Health. “Trellis Health is changing that, using decades of health history to provide unparalleled context into an individual's health history. We’re building the foundation for generational, proactive consumer health with a private and secure digital health platform that uses AI to translate years of your health context into actionable, intelligent insights paired with innovative care solutions.”

Giraud’s personal journey through pregnancy, combined with her experience in genomics and digital health, has helped shape her vision for Trellis Health. Having spent a decade working with some of the largest consumer health data companies, she witnessed firsthand the sheer amount of health data being generated and how disconnected it is alongside outdated - yet compliant - privacy and security practices. Ultimately, she realized that if we want to rearchitect the healthcare experience and outcomes, we need the full picture - actionable, data-driven insights and lifetime context - and give it directly to the individuals who need it. With Trellis, she is redefining that relationship. Putting women at the center of their own health blueprint to ensure they have the tools, knowledge, and confidence to navigate their health at every stage of life.

“The rapid expansion of wellness offerings, wearables, and digital health tools has created a fragmented landscape, leaving consumers overwhelmed with disconnected data and few trusted resources to make sense of it,” said Rana Taghdisi Argenio, Founding Partner, Palette Ventures. “Trellis Health is stepping in at this breaking point, offering an integrated platform that unifies medical history, provides continuous care, and delivers the proactive health management solution that modern consumers, especially women, desperately need.”

Designed as more than just a pregnancy app, Trellis Health is building an operating system for women’s lifetime health, bridging critical gaps in care with data-driven insights and expert support. Trellis will offer personalized, trusted guidance through special provider partnerships for women navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond, eliminating the need for late-night Google searches. With a focus on continuous care, Trellis is setting a new standard in digital health to empower women with the tools they need to put family health on autopilot while building their unique, foundational, and preemptive health model - to shift the statistics on women’s health, adding decades of health to their lives.
