Choix Inc., a startup that provides women with pills that induce an abortion, has raised $1 million in seed funding from venture capitalists, weeks after a report that indicated the Supreme Court was on the verge of overturning Roe v. Wade.
“Because of what is going on in this country, we wanted to be able to grow quickly,” said Cindy Adam, co-founder and chief executive officer of Choix. “We’re on a lot more people’s radar now, just because of what’s going on.” The funding came from Oregon-based Elevate Capital. Adam declined to give the startup’s valuation.
