Alyx dives deep into the evolution of her company, highlighting the technological pivots, challenges of building both physical and digital products, and the unique market needs around women’s health. She also opens up about her passion for breaking taboos, her drive as a non-technical founder, and the lessons learned in creating tech that truly meets users where they are. Along the way, they discuss the vital role of user feedback, privacy concerns, and how innovation and empathy power disruptive solutions in femtech.
