In their words
It was incredibly validating to take what was my seven-year journey and, in our first MVP and alpha trial, turn that journey into five days. Five days — including you have a prescription and it is delivered to your door within 24 hours, covered by your benefits.
Employee benefits strategies within organizations are built to be inclusive. They're built to support the health needs of an entire population. And yet most have some pretty significant gaps as it relates to women's health — fertility and family planning, perimenopause, menopause.
We have big aspirations. It's one of the things I really want to encourage fellow entrepreneurs — female founders in particular: think big, think bigger.
85 of canadians who have access to employee benefits have indicated now they want and are looking for virtual health care as part of their employee benefits package or offering which is dramatic increase over the last few months
some experts are now indicating that the next great pandemic when we work our way through this particular scenario with covid19 is likely to be a much enhanced mental health crisis

Quick answers
What does June Health do?
June Health is an entirely virtual women's health platform delivering proactive, personalized care from women's health experts across physical and mental health. It launched with perimenopause and menopause care, has expanded into weight management, women's mental health, and general health conditions, and is starting in Canada with plans to expand.
How did Casselman validate June Health before building it?
She did close to 100 interviews with buyers — people in insurance, plan administrators, brokers, and advisors — plus over 40 prospective patient members. She heard that care had to be convenient and end-to-end, and found over 90% of symptoms could be addressed virtually. June's first MVP alpha trial turned her own seven-year path to care into five days.
What is June Health's business model?
B2B with a B2B2C element: employers subsidize the platform fee as part of an employee benefits strategy, while appointment fees are deliberately unbundled. Members choose their care and practitioners, with June helping them apply private or public insurance and surfacing any out-of-pocket costs transparently before they proceed. Individuals can also buy a membership directly on the website.
