“I'm just not set up for an easy ride”: Fundraising Journey of a Solo Founder Revolutionizing Gynae Exams

“I'm just not set up for an easy ride”: Fundraising Journey of a Solo Founder Revolutionizing Gynae Exams

In this inspiring episode, Stiliyana Minkovska, a qualified architect, female-centered healthcare designer, and founder of Matrix, shares her entrepreneurial journey in the femtech space. Her work focuses on transforming healthcare environments and has been exhibited at the Design Museum in London.

Stiliyana's dream of studying architecture at the Royal College of Art took an unexpected turn when she became pregnant and questioned the highly medicalized and masculine nature of birthing spaces. This sparked the idea for Matrix—a digitally-enabled speculum alternative aiming to revolutionize gynecological protocols through women-led design innovation.

The episode explores:

  • The uphill battle of being a solo female founder trying to balance social impact with making a profit.
  • The crucial importance of protecting intellectual property through patents and trademarks.
  • The roles accelerators, grants, and investors play in the fundraising journey for femtech startups.
  • Maintaining resilience and authenticity in the face of challenges as an entrepreneur.
  • Designing inclusive healthcare products centered on women's lived experiences.

Tune in to gain insights from Stiliyana's journey and be inspired by her resilience and innovation in the femtech space. Don't miss this captivating episode!
