Otta's take
Xav Kearney
CTO of Otta
It's well known that most men don't seek help unless they have a serious problem - up to 90%, a scary statistic given that small problems often turn into big ones, like obesity, poor health and chronic fatigue. A large part of the reason for this is a cultural taboo about men opening up. This is something Manual wants to change with a holistic men's health service, giving men the tools and products they need to be good to themselves.
Manual works to remove the stigma around men's health through teleconsultations, testing, regular check-ins and a range of tools, supplements and medications to treat commmon issues like poor sleep, hair loss, erectile dysfunction and skin conditions. Encouragingly, the service seems to be leading to a shift in attitudes among its customers, with about half the men using the service to treat more than one condition, indicating that they're not just seeking help for the worst health issue that they're experiencing.
Manual has raised an impressive amount of capital, most recently in a Series A in 2021. This funding is being used to fuel its global expansion, with offices in London and Sao Paolo. While there are beginning to be more companies in this sector as the conversation about men's health opens us (such as Ro and Numan), there is a huge addressable market and Manual is well poised to continue its impressive growth.
