Women’s Health research Collaborative and Avana Health Launch Joint Initiative Around Acute Heavy Menstrual Bleeding Care

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Women’s Health research Collaborative (WHrC), a Petauri Kinect network of excellence, and Avana Health announced their new initiative to help improve Acute Heavy Menstrual Bleeding (HMB) care. Acute HMB refers to episodes of heavy uterine bleeding, unrelated to pregnancy, that require urgent or emergent care. Currently, there are no diagnostic or therapeutic codes. In addition, no FDA-approved interventions exist.

The goal of this collaboration is to improve the care of affected girls and women by raising awareness of the condition in a fashion that fosters improved education, research and the development of effective interventions.

“The clinical problem of Acute HMB has received little attention despite the adverse impact on the lives of millions of women and the costs incurred by our healthcare systems,” said Malcolm Munro, MD, FACOG, FRCSC, clinical professor at UCLA and co-founder of the WHrC. “The WHrC is committed to raising awareness of this circumstance among policymakers, clinicians, healthcare systems, medical educators and the life sciences industry. By doing so, we hope to stimulate everything from developing and deploying the ICD and CPT codes needed to identify, track and otherwise evaluate affected women to addressing the glaring need for regulatory approval of interventions designed to prevent and treat this disabling situation.”

The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) have defined Acute HMB as “an episode of heavy uterine bleeding in the reproductive years, unrelated to pregnancy, that, in the opinion of the clinician, is of sufficient quantity to require immediate intervention.”

“At Avana Health, we are committed to addressing critical gaps in uterine health. Raising awareness of Acute HMB and driving meaningful change in its treatment are core to our mission. By collaborating with diverse stakeholders including medical experts, patients, healthcare providers and the WHrC, we are developing innovative solutions that broaden access and empower healthcare practitioners. Together, we can transform care and improve lives,” said Peter Pacult, CEO and co-founder of Avana Health.

Mindy Olivarez, senior vice president at Petauri Kinect, added, “This partnership will bring the voice of women, necessary research and innovative stakeholders to the table as well as continue to advance women’s health in the US and globally.”

New tender offer capabilities connect equity management with real-time valuation data covering approximately 65,000 private companies with a combined estimated value of $9 trillion, laying the groundwork for future secondary marketplace capabilities.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Eqvista, a leading equity management and valuation platform serving more than 25,000 companies, today announced the launch of company-sponsored tender offer capabilities, enabling private companies to organize structured liquidity events directly within their equity management platform. The launch also marks a step toward Eqvista’s planned secondary marketplace capabilities.

As companies stay private longer, employees and early investors face limited opportunities to sell their shares. Meanwhile, organizing liquidity events involves complex decisions around pricing, participant eligibility, approvals, and ownership changes.

Eqvista brings these processes together through a company-controlled tender offer workflow, supported by its equity management infrastructure and Eqvista Real-Time Company Valuation® technology.

“With Eqvista, private companies can help their employees and early investors turn their shares into cash, rewarding them for their contributions to the company,” said Tomas Milar, Founder and CEO of Eqvista. “We already help companies manage ownership and understand their value. Bringing tender offers into the same platform is a natural next step toward connecting equity management, valuation, and liquidity.”

Company-Controlled Tender Offers

Eqvista’s new capabilities allow companies to manage tender offers while maintaining control over participation, transaction terms, and ownership changes.

Key features include:

Cap table integration: Automatically record completed ownership changes.Participant controls: Define eligible buyers and sellers and offer windows.Allocation rules: Set transaction limits, pro rata allocations, and priorities.Integrated approvals: Manage approval requirements and rights of first refusal.Valuation-informed pricing: Reference Eqvista Real-Time Company Valuation® data when evaluating transaction pricing.

By integrating these processes, Eqvista aims to reduce the administrative complexity of organizing liquidity events while helping companies maintain control over their shareholder base.

Building Toward a Secondary Marketplace

Building on its company-sponsored tender offer capabilities, Eqvista plans to expand into secondary marketplace infrastructure designed to support structured, company-approved liquidity programs. By connecting ownership records, real-time valuation data, and private share transactions within one platform, Eqvista aims to make private market liquidity more accessible while allowing companies to maintain control over participation and ownership changes. Further details will be announced as development progresses, subject to applicable regulatory requirements.
