Who we are
Anja Health is women-led team based in Los Angeles founded by Kathryn Cross. Kathryn is a Wellesley College alumni, a Forbes 30 under 30 honoree and is also backed by Y Combinator. She founded and leads Anja Health with a mission inspired by her brother - to provide affordable and flexible options to the general mass, so that cord blood banking becomes an accessible option for as many families as possible.
Our mission
Anja Health is on the frontier of medicine, unlocking new treatment options by providing the most personal source of stem cells for families: from the umbilical cord and placenta itself. We are on a mission to arm new parents with information, education, convenience, and accessibility so that no family has to encounter what our founder's family did: needing a stem cell match when they need it most.
