#007: Today we’re chatting with Betsy Drach, the founder of Dot Cup, the most beautiful menstrual cup on the market. Dot Cup is a mission-driven brand that pairs waste-free periods with women empowerment — for every cup purchased, one is given to a girl in need so she never has to miss school, work, or any opportunity because of something so normal as a period.
Prior to Dot Cup, Betsy was a former designer for clean water initiatives at World Vision, which gave her the design chops to build not only a beautiful brand but a more impactful one that pairs a buy-one, give-one model with education and cultural awareness.
In today's session, we'll discuss why sustainable period care is directly linked to climate fight in more ways than you’d think, insights on what eco-conscious boutiques are looking for when they decide to stock a product, why nailing your brand is just as important as a well-thought-out business plan and more.
