Xbyx closes seven-figure financing round

The start-up offers nutritional supplements and courses for menopausal women and is now gaining an investor as a result.

Berlin-based start-up "Xbyx - Women in Balance" has announced the closing of a seven-figure Pre-Series A financing round. The round is funded by Econa AG, the venture and private equity firm of a Berlin-based family office. Auxxo Female Catalyst Fund has also been invested in the startup since early 2022. The new funding will be used to expand the team and develop new products.

Xbyx offers herbal supplements and video courses on hormones and fitness for menopausal women. "With XbyX, we see ourselves as a best friend to our female customers, a knowledge broker and a place of understanding," says Monique Leonhardt. She founded the startup in 2019 with serial entrepreneur Peggy Reichelt. The company says it currently has 50,000 female customers.

"Women's health and especially the topics beyond pregnancy, periods and fertility are still significantly underrepresented in the market environment to date," says Jochen Becker of Econa AG. According to Becker, the founders are democratizing a previously neglected sector with their products and knowledge transfer.
