Femtech in Asia

Femtech In Asia is your window into the world of femtech and sexual wellness in Asia, brought to you by The Della HQ. I believe that we are on the cusp of high growth in this space, in this region, and I'd love more people around the world to know about the work, and meet the incredible personalities and businesses in the industry.

In this episode, I speak with Nandhini Gopal, co-founder of Femcy, a menstrual wellness app. Femcy offers personalised, comprehensive lifestyle management guidance for menstruators, based on their symptoms and menstrual phase, as well as on-demand teleconsultation with menstrual health experts.  The Femcy app helps improve the monthly menstrual issues that 70-80% of women experience, such as PMS, cramps and bloating, and can aid in boosting fertility for women planning a pregnancy.  As quoted from Nandhini, menstrual cramps and pains are "common, not normal".

In this episode, I speak with Umeera Maan, co-founder of YIN - a femtech DTC birth control subscription, launched in Singapore and Malaysia in just 4 months of inception. She tells me that YIN spent a month in preparation (the team already had experience in telehealth in Australia).   She says that though the scene is competitive in Singapore, the first market where YIN launched, the company is not snatching for customer acquisition, rather forging a bond with their customers and nurturing that trust between consumer and brand.

In this episode, I speak with Eden, Diana, Winxi and Simona from The Oh Collective in Shanghai, China. The Oh Collective started as girl chat among friends that became a community. Today, The Oh Collective is still a community and that community is growing every day.  These four friends are paving the way for a sex positive, inclusive, and holistic wellness future in modern China with insightful content, educative pieces, and thoughtful events.

In this episode, I speak with Peter Macquart-Moulin from Yesmom in Thailand. Yesmom makes health and fertility information more accessible to women with affordable, at-home, user-friendly hormone blood test kits with personalised digital results. By bringing a wide-range of validated laboratory tests directly to consumers in Asia the company aims to empower individuals and promote proactive healthcare.  When Peter and his co-founder first pitched Yesmom 4, almost 5 years ago, the word femtech was not even in the Asia market investor vocabulary!

To date, there are more than 350,000 users, in Thailand alone, on Yesmom, and the company has expanded to India in 2020.  Yesmom has plans to conquer other Asian countries this year, perhaps starting with Singapore!

In Episode 1 of Femtech in Asia, we speak with Jasmine King from Malaysia, sex positive advocate and host of I Wish Someone Told Me, a sex positive podcast with Asian narratives and voices. We dig into why Jasmine started, and how she learned to listen to respond, not listen to react. 

In our second episode, Xi and I exchange stories from when we were young, answer your questions, and encourage you to go get tested!

Ask Ferne is a monthly podcast dedicated to empowering Southeast Asian women to open up and normalise conversations around sexual health and sexuality. This is a safe space and we want to encourage you to ask questions and raise topics!
