Dr. Elina Berglund Scherwitzl, Co-founder and CEO of Natural Cycles - the world’s first, and only, app to be certified as a contraception by the FDA in the U.S. and CE marked in Europe. Prior to founding Natural Cycles, Elina was part of the team that discovered the Higgs boson at the CERN laboratory, which led to the Nobel Prize in physics in 2013. Following this success, Elina was looking for an effective, natural birth control and decided to apply her skills from particle physics to create a unique algorithm that could accurately pinpoint when a woman was fertile. From there, Natural Cycles was born. Today, Natural Cycles has over 1.5 million registered users across 162 countries and has raised ~ $37.5 million to date.
In this episode Elina talks to us about:
- Her background what inspired to be the person she is today
- How she took her knowledge from particle physics, data and got started on Natural Cycles
- Raising funds being a women entrepreneur
- Resolving impediments
- And a lot more...
