Admiralty Capital Group has led a A$4 million seed round in Ovum, the Australian company building the first longitudinal AI data set for women’s health, to address the trillion-dollar women’s health gap.
Founded by Dr Ariella Heffernan-Marks, Ovum is building an AI-infrastructure for women’s health that captures symptoms, biometrics, reproductive health, medications and medical records into a single longitudinal memory, then surfaces patterns and appointment-ready questions that help women advocate for themselves in clinical settings. Privacy and consent are built in from the ground up, to GDPR and SOC 2 Type II standards.
For us, the case came together on three fronts at once: a genuine market with the timing finally on its side, real technical capability, and a founder who has lived the problem. Since launching in August 2025, Ovum has grown roughly 30% month-on-month, signed Medibank pre-product, and added Fernwood Fitness, Sweat and a Red Cross Lifeblood pilot.
“The most compelling companies are often built around problems society has learned to tolerate but should never have accepted. The gender health gap is one of those problems. Ovum combines mission, market timing and technical capability with an exceptional founder uniquely positioned to lead this movement, and we believe that creates the foundation for a company of global significance,” said Amanda Andriano, Founding Partner.
The capital will fund team growth and the continued expansion of Ovum’s data set — the asset we believe compounds into a durable advantage. Earlier this year Ovum launched clinical trials with St George Hospital and the Royal Hospital for Women, the first in the country to assess AI as a preventative health tool designed specifically for women. We’re proud to lead the round.rowth.
