Clue is a menstrual health app developed by the Berlin-based technology company BioWink GmbH. The app has over 15 million users from 180 countries. The startup has raised over $17 million from backers that include Union Square Ventures and Mosaic Ventures.
Clue was co-founded by Ida Tin, Hans Raffauf, Mike LaVigne and Moritz von Buttlar in 2012.[3] BioWink GmbH launched the app in 2013.[4] Ida Tin's stated goal was to take female reproductive health “out of taboo land” and to start “a reproductive health revolution.” Tin previously led motorbike tours around the world and wrote a book about her experience.[4][5]
By July 2017, the Clue app had more than 8 million active users on both Android and iOS.[5][6] Users were representative of more than 180 countries.[7] In 2015, BioWink GmbH closed a $7 million Series A funding round led by Union Square Ventures and Mosaic Ventures, bringing the company's total funding to $10 million.[6] The company was listed as one of Europe's Hottest Startups in 2015 by Wired UK,[8] with Clue being named one of the best apps in 2015 by both Apple and Google.[9][10]
In March 2018, the company launched an editorial site to serve as a resource for accessible and scientific menstrual health information.[11][12]
