“We believe Millie has built the ideal model to drive better outcomes: midwifery-led, powered by both clinician and patient-facing technology, in partnership with health systems and payers. Not only is this transformative for maternal health but there is a huge upside potential as Millie builds a longitudinal relationship beyond the maternity episode,” said Emma Silverman, partner at TMV, in a statement..

“我们相信，Millie已经建立了推动更好结果的理想模式：以助产士为主导，由临床医生和面向患者的技术共同支持，并与卫生系统和支付方合作。这不仅对孕产妇健康具有变革性，而且随着Millie在孕产期之外建立长期关系，还具有巨大的潜在优势，”TMV合伙人Emma Silverman在一份声明中表示。

The financing will help Millie open more locations and partner with more health systems in California (though it plans to expand outside of California in the future). The company is also expanding offerings to support the broader reproductive health journey, such as fertility assessments, said Anu Sharma, founder and CEO of Millie..

融资将帮助Millie在加州开设更多门店，并与更多医疗系统合作（尽管该公司计划未来在加州以外地区扩张）。Millie创始人兼首席执行官阿努·夏尔马表示，公司还在扩展服务范围，以支持更广泛的生殖健康旅程，例如生育能力评估等。

“We focus on maternity care, and yes, that’s what we do really well and want to be famous for,” she said in an interview. “But we view ourselves really, I would say, as a women’s health company for the reproductive years.”

“我们专注于孕产妇护理，是的，这是我们真正擅长并希望出名的地方，”她在一次采访中说。“但在我看来，我们真的把自己视为一家为生育年龄女性服务的健康公司。”

Sharma started the company due to her own challenges within the maternal healthcare system. Shortly after returning home following the birth of her daughter, Sharma had to diagnose herself with postpartum preeclampsia.

Sharma因自身在孕产妇医疗系统中的挑战而创立了这家公司。在女儿出生后不久，Sharma回家后不得不自我诊断出患有产后子痫前期。

“I put myself in an Uber, leaving my daughter at home with my husband, went back to the emergency room and presented on the verge of a stroke and quite literally, ended up saving my own life,” she said. “It was just one of those mind-blowing moments. Here I am, somebody who’s pretty healthcare literate, well-resourced, getting care in one of the best hospitals in the country, not lacking insurance.

“我上了优步，把女儿留在家里和我丈夫在一起，然后回到急诊室，当时我几乎快要中风了，可以说，最终我救了自己的命，”她说。“这真是一个令人震惊的时刻。我这个人对医疗知识相当了解，资源充足，在国内最好的医院之一接受治疗，也有保险。"

I even had a doula. Still, I almost died.”.
