Founders Everywhere: Meghan Doyle
Meghan Doyle is the co-founder and CEO of Partum Health, a healthcare company focused on delivering integrated clinical, mental, and support services for families during pregnancy and postpartum.
Welcome to Founders Everywhere, where we highlight the incredible people behind the companies we’ve backed at Everywhere Ventures, a global pre-seed fund supported by a community of 500 founders and operators.
The United States ranks 55th in the world for maternal mortality while spending more on childbirth than any other country. For too many families, the most significant medical journey of their lives is fragmented, expensive, and unsupported. We’re in an incredibly exciting moment for women’s health, with more innovation and attention than ever, yet the scale of unmet need means we still have a long way to go. Partum Health is addressing that gap by bringing together clinical care, doula support, and mental health services in a single, coordinated model that is delivered both virtually and in person and covered by insurance. By integrating lactation support, pelvic floor therapy, infant feeding guidance, and behavioral health under one roof, Partum helps families access comprehensive, continuous care without having to navigate a patchwork of providers during one of life’s most demanding transitions. They are currently active in Illinois, Michigan, and Texas and will be expanding geographically, so look out in your state.
Co-founders Meghan Doyle, CEO, and Matthew Rogers, COO met at Boston Consulting Group, what they jokingly call the “less intense” job they left to become founders. Both worked in healthcare, and Matt also spent time on social‑impact and public‑sector projects, which fits naturally with the public‑health side of maternal care. Meghan’s earlier career sat between consumer brands and healthcare, helping insurers and health systems design care that feels more human and easier to navigate. They share a very similar way of working: using data, telling clear stories, and giving honest feedback. They are applying that approach to deliver the holistic, hybrid care families deserve. They believe this kind of coordinated care is what will really move the needle for families throughout pregnancy and postpartum.
What’s Partum Health’s North Star?
Our North Star is making an elevated standard of care the norm for families, not the exception. We believe care should extend beyond basic OB services to support the full mental, emotional, and physical well-being of every birthing person. By bringing together a coordinated team of specialists, including lactation consultants, physical therapists, behavioral health providers, doulas, nutrition experts, and others, we aim to deliver comprehensive, integrated care that addresses the whole person throughout pregnancy and postpartum.
What makes Partum Health a must-have vs a nice-to-have?
When you look beyond the headline maternal mortality statistics, it becomes clear that the current system often falls short in supporting birthing people and families. Mental health conditions remain one of the leading contributors to maternal mortality, yet many people experiencing perinatal mood and anxiety disorders never receive the care they need. The same gaps exist in areas like infant feeding, where many parents struggle to meet their breastfeeding goals without early, hands-on support. Similar challenges arise with pelvic floor health, as many people experience dysfunction after childbirth that could be prevented or effectively treated with timely physical therapy. These challenges all point to the same underlying issue: too much of maternal care is reactive rather than proactive. By providing continuous, coordinated support across physical, emotional, and practical needs (both virtually and in the home) Partum Health helps address critical gaps in care, improving outcomes and making the transition into parenthood more manageable and supported.
Tell us about some recent milestones that Partum Health crushed.
I’m especially excited about the progress we’ve made toward expanding access to comprehensive maternal care. A key part of that effort has been partnering with major national insurance payers and accepting insurance to make our services more accessible to families. We’ve also expanded into Medicaid, which covers more than 40% of births in the U.S., because improving maternal health outcomes at scale requires serving Medicaid populations. In addition, we’ve begun partnering with health systems such as University of Chicago, integrating our services alongside OB care so patients can access support more seamlessly and clinicians have a trusted partner to address needs that often fall beyond the traditional scope of obstetric care.
How has your background influenced you as a founder?
Looking back, Partum feels like the natural intersection of my career and personal experiences. I started in the consumer world, focused on brand strategy and understanding people’s needs, which continues to shape how we design patient-centered healthcare experiences. My move into healthcare was influenced by my brother’s long cancer journey, which showed me how difficult the system can be to navigate and how much responsibility falls on families. Later, at BCG, I worked across payer, provider, and health services organizations, where I saw the growing focus on whole-person care, but also noticed that maternal health was often overlooked. When I had my own children, I experienced those gaps firsthand. Even with good insurance and strong health literacy, accessing support for feeding, pelvic floor recovery, and behavioral health was far harder than it should have been. Once I saw both the personal challenges and the broader outcomes data, it made it impossible not to act.
Any favorite resources or content?
Honestly, the most valuable resource for me has been a community of fellow founders. A trusted group of peers, especially in healthcare, helps cut through the noise with practical, specific guidance. Live, reciprocal support beats almost anything you can passively consume.
Fun fact:
I grew up traveling back and forth between the U.S. and Ireland, where my dad and all my grandparents are from, and I spent much of my childhood Irish dancing. I come from a big Irish Catholic family, and there’s a running joke at Partum that I “have a cousin for everything.”
