This week's episode of *Found* features an insightful conversation with Sylvia Kang, CEO and co-founder of Mira, a pioneering company in women's health focused on home hormonal testing. The discussion sheds light on the significant gaps in research surrounding women's hormonal health, as well as the unique challenges faced by startups in this critical sector. Key topics include the understanding of hormonal variability, the market needs that prompted Mira's launch in 2017, and the early feedback from consumers, healthcare professionals, and investors. Kang also addresses the fundraising hurdles that women's health startups often encounter, alongside the complexities of product development in an environment with limited research. The pandemic's influence on Mira's growth trajectory and strategic pricing initiatives aimed at enhancing accessibility are also explored. Additionally, the episode touches on collaborations with insurance and healthcare providers, the navigation of the FDA approval process, and the integration of AI in hormonal health analysis. Sylvia shares her transition from corporate leadership to entrepreneurship, offering insights into her leadership style and the culture at Mira. Looking ahead, Kang discusses the future of women's health and Mira's expansion plans.
