What Proov does

Proov (legal entity MFB Fertility, Inc.) is a Boulder, Colorado-based direct-to-consumer health technology company founded in 2016 by Dr. Amy Beckley, a PhD scientist who developed the first FDA-cleared at-home urine test measuring PdG (pregnanediol glucuronide) to confirm successful ovulation. The company's core product line centers on patented, FDA-cleared urine-based hormone test strips that track four key fertility hormones (FSH, E1G, LH, and PdG) across the full menstrual cycle, supported by the Proov Insight mobile app that delivers numerical results, an exclusive Progesterone Score, and personalized recommendations. Proov has expanded its portfolio beyond fertility into perimenopause hormone tracking (Proov Empower), male fertility testing through a bundled Yo sperm test integration, telehealth prescription services for Letrozole, Progesterone, and Metformin (fulfilled via Amazon Pharmacy), a 3-month Path to Pregnancy clinical program with reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Aimee Eyvazzadeh, and a suite of bioidentical progesterone and herbal hormone-support supplements.

The company operates a product-led, direct-to-consumer go-to-market via its owned e-commerce storefront at proovtest.com, supplemented by content marketing, a community-led Facebook group, Instagram, an affiliate program, and PR coverage in outlets including Forbes, the Wall Street Journal, and the Today Show. Pricing ranges from $13 for pregnancy tests to $99.99 for the complete cycle testing kit, with the clinical Path to Pregnancy program priced at $399 with an 8-month money-back guarantee. Distribution is global through US-warehouse shipping, with select European expansion enabled by a June 2021 CE mark and prescription services limited to the US. Proov is privately held and operated by co-founders Dr. Amy Beckley (CEO) and Ellen Schell (Co-founder), with disclosed funding of approximately $10.2 million across a $9.7M December 2021 round led by Hambrecht Ducera Growth Ventures, prior seed and accelerator rounds, a National Science Foundation grant, and a 2024 Colorado state grant, alongside a customer base of more than 50,000 couples served since 2017.

Direct peers

• Mira: Mira sells at-home hormone and fertility test kits with a connected app and AI-based cycle analysis. Directly comparable to Proov in product (multi-hormone urine testing), target customer (TTC women), and GTM (DTC e-commerce), and is even head-to-head compared against Proov on Proov's own website.
• Inito: Inito provides at-home fertility monitors that measure multiple hormones (E3G, LH, PdG, FSH) from urine. It is a direct rival on the same four-hormone thesis and on Proov's own comparison content, serving the same trying-to-conceive customer with a connected app experience.
• Oova: Oova sells an at-home urine-based hormone test with AI-driven measurement of PdG and LH for ovulation and IVF cycle tracking. Overlaps with Proov on PdG confirmation, AI interpretation, and the fertility/perimenopause use case for women tracking cycles at home.
• Natalist: Natalist is a DTC women's reproductive health brand offering ovulation tests, pregnancy tests, and fertility supplements. Directly comparable as a DTC brand targeting TTC and perimenopause consumers with a similar product mix of tests plus supplements.
• Premom: Premom is a fertility tracking app paired with ovulation test strips and quantitative reader devices. Overlaps with Proov on cycle-tracking app plus at-home ovulation testing for TTC women and competes for the same product-led-growth consumer.

Broad incumbents

• Modern Fertility (Ro): Modern Fertility offers at-home hormone tests for women, now operating under Ro with significantly more capital and a broader men's and women's health portfolio. Comparable on hormone testing for fertility/perimenopause but at greater scale and with a wider product catalog.
• Clearblue: Clearblue is the established mass-market leader in ovulation and pregnancy test sticks. It overlaps with Proov on pregnancy (hCG) and ovulation (LH) testing but competes primarily on accessibility, price, and retail distribution rather than the multi-hormone AI-based positioning.
• Everlywell: Everlywell is a major DTC at-home diagnostics platform offering hormone, fertility, and women's health test kits. Comparable on DTC e-commerce of diagnostic tests but operates much more broadly across categories (thyroid, STI, food sensitivity, etc.) with greater scale.
• LetsGetChecked: LetsGetChecked offers at-home diagnostic tests (including fertility and hormone panels) with telehealth follow-up. Comparable on the at-home diagnostics + telehealth combination, though it operates across many conditions at greater scale than Proov.

Emerging players

• Needed: Needed is a DTC nutrition brand focused on fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum supplements. Overlaps with Proov on the supplement and TTC customer segment, but emphasizes practitioner-formulated nutrition rather than diagnostic testing.
