The Femtech revolution with Ida Tin, founder of Clue

 

Did Apple "forgot" to add a period tracker to the Apple Heath tracker at a time when Femtech was not a thing?

 

Imagine you’re pioneering a product in a completely new sector, carving out an entirely new market category.

That’s the journey of Ida Tin, the co-founder of Clue, one of the largest Femtech health apps serving 10+ million active users across 190+ countries.

 

Ida coined the term 'Femtech,' to provide a unifying banner for the sector dedicated to women's health technology.

We get to hear how it started from the ida of a home hormonal test ( a decade before home testing of anything was a thing) to taking a 100% digital approach to contraception.

 

 

Despite navigating the challenges of a male-dominated investment landscape and spearheading a deeply ethical approach to data privacy, Ida Tin shares how Clue rose to become a trusted app for women’s reproductive health.

 

This episode covers everything from the struggles of combating gender norms to finding innovative ways to fund and market a startup in a stigmatized area.

Ida's story is also a testament to why inclusive data and ethical business practices are paramount in creating lasting and meaningful products for women around the world.
