Just some stuff I’ve noticed on my startup journey this week:
1. When joining the YC cofounder matching platform, I had 1000+ matches. When I selected “female only” that number went down to 41.
2. Every woman I’ve talked to on this journey has been so eager to help me
3. Women are the fucking best.

I’ve never done coke, but I have to assume the feeling I get from listening to Cynthia Erivo sing Defying Gravity is pretty similar + crying 💚🩷 #wicked

Fun Fact: There are 🧑‍🍼3.66M births in the US per year.
There are also only🧑‍⚕️20k OBGYNs, 🧑‍⚕️14k Midwives, 👩‍🍼9k doulas, and 🏋️‍♀️10k pelvic floor PTs in the US.

And unfortunately, I’ve seen accessibility to these services get reduced instead of improved.

I think (fem)tech can help pick up the slack.

Fun Fact: C-Sections are the most performed surgeries in the US (that require an overnight hospital stay)

Despite over 1M women per year having C-Sections - a MAJOR surgery - it’s still not standard procedure to give any rehab protocols.

If you had major surgery, wouldn’t you expect this guidance?
