Anne Fulenwider is the co-founder of Alloy Women’s Health, a start-up dedicated to helping women receive safe, effective treatment for the symptoms of menopause. From a young age, Anne wanted to be a writer. After college, she landed a job working for the famed writer George Plimpton at The Paris Review. Over the next decade, Anne continued honing her writing and editing skills at publications such as Vanity Fair, Marie Claire, and Brides, and in 2012 took on the role of the editor in chief at Marie Claire. Over her eight-year tenure, she brought her editorial voice to the magazine and created new projects like the Image Maker Awards and Power Trip. In 2016, a devastating personal loss made Anne realize there was still so much work to be done in women’s health, and in 2019, she left her post to found Alloy Women’s Health with her friend Monica Molenaar. In 2021, they raised $3.3 million in seed funding and launched the company with a telehealth service to allow women access to crucial hormone prescriptions. Over the last five years, they’ve scaled and expanded Alloy to include in-depth consultations with physicians and customized treatment plans with prescription and over-the-counter products while achieving profitability within just three years.
