FAQ
Why do women-first products need women-first teams?
Because lived experience shapes product judgment. Men building for women default to what they observe, not what women experience. Safety, health, and social products designed without women on the core team ship blind spots that cost trust. The highest-growing women-first products all have women founders or senior PMs driving direction.
