We talk about the current landscape regarding consumer women's healthtech, especially finding a balance between deeply solving a problem for your consumers whilst having a narrative in place for future expansion so you have a VC backable TAM

Luana talks about the importance of knowing your why as a founder and how you should use the 5 whys framework to have that clarity for your investor conversations
