Equity, Impact & Community Consulting For A US-Based FemTech Startup

* this collaboration is under strict NDA terms and cannot be fully shared.

THE CHALLENGE

When Melissa Kim and I met during our first coffee chat, we were thrilled to realize that women's health rights are at the core of our business values and mission.

Melissa engages FairForce as a trusted partner to support her venture’s development journey with ad-hoc impact, equity and community-building consulting.

THE GOALS

The collaboration with Melissa aimed to bringing an equity-driven perspective into the development process of the venture’s product/service.

While handling women’s health challenges in the tech space, we were intentional in looking at the landscape of solutions and approaches by bringing equity, community and inclusion principles to the forefront of the process.

It was key to the success of the venture to work on expanding the boundaries of knowledge, awareness, and preparedness around the standards of equity and inclusion within the FemTech landscape.

THE PROCESS

FairForce has been providing ad-hoc impact consulting and operational support.

We helped our client develop knowledge and capacity around equity, inclusion and community-building topics so that they could actively embed the knowledge into the product/service development process.

We did by…

• Integrate an equity-driven analysis into the product and service development process.

• Researching and benchmarking the status quo of equity, community and inclusion across ventures in the global FemTech landscape.

• Advising the founder (Melissa) on best practices to foster equity, inclusion, and community values in product/service development.

• Strategizing and reiterating project-specific steps, scope, and approaches.

• Consulting the founder on relevant intersectionality, equity, community-building and inclusion theoretical frameworks.
