Hannah Samano, Founder and CEO of Unfabled, said: “Despite 90% of the UK’s 33.8 million female population experiencing monthly hormonal symptoms, women’s health has for too long been fragmented and underserved. Unfabled has already empowered thousands of women to find effective treatments for common, yet hugely disruptive, hormonal and reproductive conditions like PMS, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis and menopause.”
Samano claims that one of the main reasons for the gender health gap is the absence of data that is broken down by sex, which results in a lack of knowledge and comprehension regarding the health of women.

Because of this, they are creating the most user-friendly platform they can while also bridging the enormous data gap in the health industry. The more knowledge they have on female health, the more intently they can work to improve it.
Sanghamitra Karra, Managing Director and EMEA Head of the Morgan Stanley Inclusive Ventures Group, added: “We have been impressed both by Unfabled’s platform and their reach, partnering with leading brands in the space. With an engaged community of 50,000 women and educational content on women’s health reaching 40M+ views, Hannah and the team’s proven organic-driven approach has enabled Unfabled to grow impressively since 2021.”
Matt Cooper, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman at Exceptional Ventures, also commented: “When investing in a company, our primary focus is finding businesses that match our vision of helping people to live happier, healthier and longer lives. At the same time, we’re looking for the most talented entrepreneurs capable of delivering on that vision. Unfabled was a clear fit on both points, we were instantly taken by its mission to support women’s hormonal health. Unabled’s data-led platform empowers women to discover products and services often overlooked by mainstream healthcare and provides a consumer-friendly solution to a long-standing problem that affects so many lives. Hannah is a brilliant founder whose intellect, passion and drive for her business and its mission were irresistible.”
