We were thrilled to interview Priyanka Jain, Co-founder and CEO of Evvy, and explore her groundbreaking approach to women’s health and her drive to uncover much needed answers for women. In this episode, we discuss:

  • How Priyanka moved from being a product expert to a CEO, and why she made that choice
  • Why she gave herself a deadline during the initial exploration period of starting Evvy and how that helped her uncover a hidden massive market opportunity
  • How Evvy is redefining the standard of care for women’s health
  • Why founders should feel empowered to ask for help upfront and lean on their founder community for support
  • How Priyanka raised a $14M Series A in the midst of a challenging fundraising environment

    • Priyanka Jain is the co-founder and CEO of Evvy. Priyanka has always been passionate about leveraging data to improve outcomes for women. She spent the past 4 years as Head of Product at pymetrics, where she focused on building algorithms to make hiring more fair, efficient, and transparent. She's excited about the opportunity to create new datasets that will help us improve diagnoses and treatments for women's health conditions that have gone under-researched for far too long. Priyanka is also a spokesperson for the United Nations Foundation's Girl Up Campaign, Chair of the Acumen Fund's Junior Council, and on the Innovation Board for the XPrize Foundation.
