We know that the field recognizes problems best. So we partner with the ecosystem to understand real problems affecting real women. This means, we fall in love with the problems, not the solutions.
Our partners for this mission are:
Hospitals, HMOs, mental health organizations, and experts in the field. With them we identified a long list of challenges.
Now, we need you. Come fall in love with the problems, and ideate solutions. A unique opportunity to innovate together, generate and develop ideas for addressing some of the most pressing problems facing women exposed to trauma today.
So, if you are an entrepreneur, designer, engineer, clinician, researcher, or just curious and passionate about developing ideas from scratch, we invite you to join our second cohort.
We are looking for individuals with entrepreneurial spirit and skills,that believe in the importance of building new products and services to tackle women’s health issues.
In exchange we offer insight and entrance into the field, onsite access to top mentors and experts, team curation, business development and an enriching experience!
