What ALPHA is
ALPHA is Web Summit’s startup programme. Startups are selected by the Web Summit team, and each gets three tickets to the event, access to Investor to Startup meetings, and the chance to apply for PITCH, masterclasses and mentor sessions3. In 2025, over 22,000 startups applied and about 2,700 got in1.
What we brought to Lisbon
Our message was simple: vaginal symptoms are common, but clear answers are hard to get. Most women end up choosing between guessing, searching online, or waiting for an appointment.
Muuza closes that gap. In about three minutes, the app combines:
- a short survey written with doctors
- a guided, colour-corrected photo of discharge
- your cycle timing and history
The result is a plain-language assessment and clear next steps — including when to see a clinician. Read more about when to use Muuza for vaginal symptoms and how AI works in women’s health.
Good to know
Conversations at Web Summit kept returning to one question: how do you make health AI trustworthy? Our answer is to be clear about what the app can and can’t tell you, to protect intimate data, and to point women to care when it matters.
Why it mattered for Muuza
Being selected for ALPHA put a small Lithuanian women’s health company alongside thousands of startups from around the world. It gave us time with investors, partners and other founders building in health — and it confirmed that women’s health belongs on the main stage of technology, not at the edges.
What happened next
Web Summit was one step in a busy year. Since Lisbon, Muuza has been named a Kickstart Lab winner and shown on the Nasdaq tower in Times Square4, won a Visa She’s Next 2026 grant5, been registered as medical device software in Lithuania, and received the Young Innovators Award at WSA Lithuania 20266.
When to see a doctor
- Muuza gives insight, not a diagnosis.
- If you have a fever, pelvic pain, bleeding after sex or between periods, or symptoms in pregnancy, contact your GP, NHS 111 or a sexual health clinic.
