Hims & Hers Health, Inc. has announced an agreement to acquire ZAVA, a prominent digital health platform operating in Europe. The acquisition is intended to broaden Hims & Hers’ presence in the United Kingdom and establish operations in Germany, France, and Ireland.
Hims & Hers plans to use ZAVA’s platform as the foundation for its branded services in these countries. The company said this move would help accelerate its mission to deliver personalized healthcare experiences beyond the U.S. market.
“The demand for simpler, more personalized healthcare is universal,” said Andrew Dudum, founder and CEO of Hims & Hers. “By leveraging ZAVA’s established European presence, cutting-edge technology, and deep customer understanding, we’re poised to fundamentally transform access to care for millions across Europe.”
ZAVA currently serves over 1.3 million active customers and conducted nearly 2.3 million consultations in 2024. The company’s in-house medical team operates in the UK, Germany, France, and Ireland. With this acquisition, Hims & Hers intends to offer services in dermatology, weight loss, sexual health, and mental health, using local healthcare providers in each country and offering consultations in local languages.
David Meinertz, co-founder and CEO of ZAVA, said, “Wherever you live, the need is the same: healthcare that’s personal, trustworthy and fast. By joining forces with Hims & Hers, we can put that standard within reach of millions more people across Europe.”
The purchase will be paid entirely in cash and funded from Hims & Hers’ existing balance sheet. The deal is expected to close in the second half of 2025, with the company projecting it will become accretive by 2026.
