Evie also operates a menstrual cycle tracking mobile app called "28", which Trump-linked billionaire Peter Thiel has a stake in (apparently to the tune of $3.2 million).Natasha Lomas (August 23, 2022). "Cycle-focused femtech startup, 28, grabs backing from Thiel Capital". TechCrunch.Alyssa Tirrell and Rob Savillo (October 31, 2022). "Peter Thiel’s recent media investment is a period tracking app that dissuades users from taking birth control". Media Matters for America. It claims: "28 empowers women to become experts of their own bodies and gives them the tools to improve their health by naturally balancing their hormones." According to TechCrunch, the app also offers "science-based horoscopes" (oh, brother!), and: "If a user doesn't currently have a period, say because they're pregnant or on the pill for example, the startup suggests using the lunar cycle as an alternative." The 28 app attempts to persuade users not to take birth control (including by "exaggerating the side effects of the pill"), according to a Media Matters for America investigation.
