We all know that to succeed, startups need customers. Yet in the early days of building your startup, connecting with your target audience can be extremely challenging. That's why we're doing a different kind of pitch night. This event flips the script, focusing on authentic community feedback that founders can directly apply to their product strategy.  And for everyone attending, you really are shaping the future of wellness. Your feedback helps womxn's businesses grow, and you'll get intimate and early access to these products and the journey ahead.

Women may dominate wellness imagery and marketing, but the stats on womxn-led startups remain stark. According to data from PitchBook, female founders received 2.2% of $130 billion in VC funding in 2018. But inequity bleeds beyond funding: Unilever Foundry and UN Women found that "42% of female founders believe gender discrimination will stay the same as they scale up. Those that scale up feel they remain a minority, and that a lack of role models remains an issue." By fueling early-stage startup community and customer momentum for womxn in wellness, we hope to do more than make a dent here; we hope to drive real, measurable change.
