SCHEDULE 13D

This Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 21, 2014 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), by the Reporting Persons, with respect to shares of Common Stock of the Issuer beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons. This Amendment No. 1 is being filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof the Reporting Persons have ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the class of securities. Except as amended or supplemented in this Amendment No. 1, all other information in the Schedule 13D is as set forth in the Original Schedule 13D. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Original Schedule 13D.

Item 1. Security and Issuer.

This statement on Schedule 13D relates to the Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of Daré Bioscience, Inc. (the “Issuer”). The Issuer’s principal executive office is located at 3655 Noble Drive, Suite 260 San Diego, CA 92122

Item 2. Identity and Background.

(c) Flint and McGuire are the managing members of PVM V.

The principal business address of each of the Reporting Persons is c/o Polaris Partners, One Marina Park Drive, 10th Floor, Boston, MA 02210.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Items 5(a), (b) and (c) of the Original Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

The information below is based on a total of 11,422,161 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 9, 2018 as reported on the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 13, 2018.

(a) – (b) PVP V directly beneficially owns 314,804 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 2.8% of the Common Stock outstanding. PVPE V directly beneficially owns 6,135 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 0.1% of the Common Stock outstanding. PVPFF V directly beneficially owns 2,156 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 0.0% of the Common Stock outstanding.

PVM V, as the general partner of PVP V, PVPE V, PVPFF V and PVPSFF V, may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the securities owned by PVP V, PVPE V, PVPFF V and PVPSFF V.

(c) Except as described in this statement, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions in the Common Stock in the 60 days prior to the date of this statement.

(e) The Reporting Persons have ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the class of securities due to dilution resulting from increases in the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.
