Digital Health was meant to democratize care for all, and FOLX is putting that purpose to the test by leveraging digital health for the LGBTQIA+ community through unique offerings such as hormone replacement therapy, PrEP prescription, general, and sexual health services. With the US at a crossroads surrounding access to care for LGBTQ+ related services (and even some bills specifically targeting transgender care, with some states even going as far as making it a Class C felony to provide gender-affirming care), there are some external risks to the company separate from the typical HealthTech and startup risks you typically see. Separate this from the mission, however - either way, FOLX Health will need to believe (and execute) on its mission despite the external noise. (September 2023)
