$5M to treat what we don't talk about

April 22, 2022
Ordinary Folk

Meet Singapore's Ordinary Folk. They're focused on treating men's and women's health issues we may not like talking about— even with doctors.

  • Think hair loss, birth control, weight loss, quitting smoking, mental wellness and erectile dysfunction.

Now, they've just raised a $5M Pre-Series A from Monk's Hill Ventures to fight the stigma and help you get quality care.


👫  His and hers

Ordinary Folk runs two platforms, Noah (for men) and Zoey (for women). Here, you can select your concern, go through a quick online evaluation and connect with a doctor online.

  • They focus on sexual health and wellness, hair and skin, mental health and general wellbeing.
  • Connect with their physicians, psychologists, therapists and other specialists through call or DM throughout your treatment.


😉  Not like the rest

They go beyond just connecting you to doctors! They're building an end-to-end platform with their own fully compliant medical network, digital health records and prescriptions, digital pharmacy and delivery fleet.


Keeping it on the down-low. You'll receive your deliveries in discreet non-description packaging. (So no, no one will know what's in the package and where it's from!)

  • You even get free delivery in 4 hours.


😅  Too shy to talk (or get treated)

At some point in our lives, we'll face these intimate yet taboo health conditions — either ourselves or through our partner.


Yet, it's super awkward to talk about them with a doctor (people would rather Google), and there aren't any discreet or easy ways to get quality treatment.

  • Apart from these, people also face high healthcare costs, stigma and worries about illegitimate or ineffective medication.


✈️ International, baby!

They'll be scaling their operations in Singapore and entering new markets like Hong Kong. Plus, they're also doubling down on B2B partnerships with companies who want to offer Noah and Zoey to their employees.
