PinkDx raises additional $5 million to advance gynecological cancer diagnostics
Brings total Series A to $45 million

PinkDx an early-stage women’s health company has announced that it has completed a second close of its previously announced Series A financing, raising an additional $5 million and bringing the total raised in this upsized round to $45 million.
The funding will help PinkDx further advance its first test, which is intended to clarify diagnosis for women presenting with a potential gynecologic cancer.
Each year in the United States, an estimated 1.5 million women present with general symptoms including bloating, pelvic pain and abnormal bleeding, for which the cause is not clear. Over 100,000 women in the U.S. are ultimately diagnosed with a gynecological cancer each year. PinkDx, which launched in April 2024, is developing solutions to replace invasive, painful diagnostic procedures and mitigate the significant delays women and their doctors often face in obtaining answers.
New investors on board
The Series A financing was led by Catalio Capital Management, LP, The Production Board and Mountain Group Partners, with participation by Byers Capital, Mayo Clinic and new investors Blue Venture Fund, Sandbox Clinical Ventures and BEVC, founded by Risa Stack, Ph.D., and other industry-investment veterans.
Bonnie Anderson, PinkDx's cofounder, chairwoman and chief executive officer said:
"We are delighted to welcome these new investors as they each offer strategic value that will be helpful as we develop and advance our first test toward commercialization.”
"We are making great progress in the discovery and development of our first test and this additional funding will help accelerate that process through the test's clinical validation."
Tom Hawes, M.D., partner at Sandbox Clinical Ventures said:
"PinkDx's use of cutting-edge science and technology to deliver better answers for women and their physicians aligns with our mission to change the healthcare system and positively impact people's lives."
"We believe PinkDx's first test will fundamentally change care for women being evaluated for a potential gynecologic cancer, enabling them to avoid unnecessary office visits and procedures or receive better, faster treatment when needed. Moreover, this will help women, physicians and the healthcare system overall."
