welcome to the xx circle
other ways to support
We are always seeking to work with professionals with specialist experience who can offer targeted expertise to early-stage founders. Our strategic advisors may contribute via 1-1 sessions, expert clinics, or founder webinars.
Some examples of our advisors include fractional CFOs or CTOs, regulatory specialists, or sector-specific consultants.
Strategic advisors
Our mentors are experienced operators who have built, scaled, fundraised for, or exited startups, particularly in complex or regulated environments. Mentors provide guidance, share lessons learned, and support founders as they navigate critical early decisions.

If you enjoy discovering new tools and giving thoughtful feedback, you’ll fit right in. Our beta testers get early access to products and services being built by women’s health founders we support.
Beta testers join a dedicated database and opt-in WhatsApp group, where founders share opportunities to try new ideas, test features, and contribute real-world insights during development.

Our sponsors help us expand access to our work. The support of our sponsors and partners allows us to run and attend events, provide scholarships for select founders, and offer discounted sessions for founders under financial pressure.
