TLDR: April was a good kind of busy. Lorenzo is officially a co-founder, we won two pitch competitions, investors are at the table, new partnerships are coming in, and we are gearing up for our MIT study launching soon.
DEAR HORMONE ENTHUSIASTS,
Where do we even begin?
This month handed us more than we could have scripted. Big news, big wins, big conversations, and a team that keeps growing in the best ways. We are so glad you are along for this part of the ride. 💙

MOMENTUM
Lorenzo is now a co-founder of femmli!! He has been building with us since the fall, and already brought in tremendous value. He is an essential part of the team and we are excited to make it official! We are so proud to be building with you, Lorenzo.
We had two major pitch competition wins. 2nd Place at MIT Beyond Hack and the Audience Choice Award at the MIT Female Founders Pitch Competition. The people in the room truly recognized our mission and felt a genuine connection to what we are building.
Our raise is picking up momentum. Investors are at the table and we are excited about the conversations happening. We want our cheerleaders in the room with us while there is still space. Reach out if you are interested or know someone who should hear about this.
Our partnership pipeline is heating up. We have been finalizing our SoW with our hardware partner. We're also aiming to launch our mini clinical study at MIT next month and finalizing partnerships to support it. On top of that, we are in conversations with major players in the wearable space about the future of continuous health tracking and how we can partner to shape it. The direction is really positive.
WHAT'S NEXT
Raise: Keep the momentum going and close our round strong. If you are interested or know someone who should be in the room, reach out now!
MIT Study: Gearing up to a launch very soon!
Partnerships: Finalizing our SoWs and beginning to build.
Waitlist: Growing our community and getting femmli into the hands of the women who need it most.
WE WOULD LOVE YOUR HELP
Invest in femmli and spread the word. This is the key priority for the month. If you are interested or know someone who should hear about this, please reach out now.
Share the waitlist. If someone in your life is navigating perimenopause or cares about closing the gap in women's health research, send her to our website to sign up.
Make an intro. We are still looking for full-stack developers, data analysts, content creators, and endocrinologists. A warm intro goes a long way.
FUN FACT OF THE MONTH
Most people know that estrogen affects mood and cycle regulation. Fewer people know that estrogen also regulates bone remodeling. When estrogen declines during perimenopause, bone loss accelerates, leading to lower bone density and increased fracture risk. It is one of the quietest and most consequential effects of this transition. [source]
Hormones are not just about how you feel today. They shape how your body holds up for decades. The more women know, the more they can do. That is the whole point of what we are doing at femmli. 💙
