Summary

Vancouver-based Elle, MD Biotechnologies has raised C$1.1 million in pre-seed funding to transition its non-hormonal contraceptive ring, Livv, into human clinical studies. This capital supports a growing demand for effective birth control alternatives that bypass systemic hormonal side effects.

The company works in Maternal & Newborn and Sexual & Reproductive, and this round at Pre-seed ($1.1M) is new money into that part of the market. Compare it with other recent rounds to see whether prices here are rising or holding steady.
