Many businesses start with the future founders trying to solve an issue they face personally. FemTech startups (female technology) are no exception. Here, however, many areas are emotionally loaded and wrapped into layers of taboos.
Fatoumata Ly shares how her own story of trying to conceive evolved into addressing the centuries-old issue countless women face. Fatoumata is now building Ninti, a company that provides digital solutions for personalised care around sexual and reproductive health.
Topics we discuss:
- Raising awareness around reproductive health and breaking taboos in the workplace. Are employers ready? And employees?
- How to convert horrible customer stories about pain, loss or trauma into a company vision and a product, and keep building despite own heartbreaking circumstances
- How much vulnerability and authenticity a founder can afford
- How can passion be treated differently based on who is displaying it. Is it a strength or a weakness?
- Does everyone have the luxury to just… be?
