Clue is the #1 doctor-recommended period & cycle tracking app available on iOS, Android, and Apple Watch. Across the globe, more than 10 million active users rely on Clue to help understand their bodies better and keep their data safe and private. Clue’s mission is for women and people with cycles to make good choices for themselves, and live full lives not in spite of their biology, but in tune with it. Clue was co-founded in 2012 by a Danish female entrepreneur, Ida Tin, who is convinced that technology will profoundly change the future of family planning. Clue launched helloclue.com in February 2018 to help close the knowledge gap about the menstrual cycle—with information that’s accessible, serious, scientific, and empathetic. Numerous major media have greatly praised Clue, including TechCrunch (“Clue is the most underrated app ever”), BuzzFeed, Wired (“Hottest Startups 2015”), Cosmopolitan (“We love Clue”) and The Huffington Post (“Awesome”). The Berlin-based startup has the backing of prestigious investors such Union Square Ventures; Mosaic Ventures; Groupe Arnault, the controlling shareholder of LVMH Moët Hennessy - Louis Vuitton; Brigitte Mohn of Bertelsmann; and entrepreneurs from Spotify, SoundCloud and Dropbox.

When we kicked off the first Perimenopause Awareness Month in September last year, we found that 90% of surveyed Clue members felt unprepared and uninformed about this life stage. How can we make sure future generations are more Clue-d up about perimenopause? We think it starts with education *before* we’re actually in it. So this year, we’re collaborating with author of ‘What Fresh Hell Is This?’ Heather Corinna to bring you The Millennial’s Guide to Perimenopause. Because we want you (and ourselves, if we’re being honest here!) to be less confused by perimenopause than by the reappearance of low-rise jeans. Follow the series on Clue’s Instagram and look out for the free downloadable guide coming soon 👀 https://lnkd.in/ejTxyhkt

After 6 amazing years at Clue, I’ve made the very difficult decision to leave. At Clue, we’re always thinking about how to best support people through the changes and the choices that they’ll encounter throughout their menstrual and reproductive health journeys. If anything could be true for every one of our users, it’s that no one’s experience is exactly the same. I’ve seen the complexity of that journey firsthand. As I prepare to welcome my first baby, many things have been changing for me. As I thought about her first months and first years, one thing was clear--I want my daughter to grow up surrounded by family. With mine in San Francisco, and my husband’s in Stockholm, this would unfortunately take me away from Berlin and Clue. Being CEO of Clue has been the most challenging and most fulfilling job of my life. It had it all--purpose, a product that truly connects to its user community, massive global impact, and the best people I could dream of working with. And as difficult as it is to leave the best job ever, I do so knowing Clue has never been in a stronger position. We are on an incredible growth trajectory, just steps away from profitability, and can embark on what I know will be our most exciting chapter of growth yet. As a Board, we set out to find the best possible person to lead Clue into this next era. After an extensive external search, I couldn’t be happier to say that person was already within Clue and Rhiannon White, currently our Chief Product Officer, will be stepping up as Clue’s new CEO. I have had the great fortune of partnering with Rhiannon for the last two and a half years, and learning from her wisdom, leadership, and deep user empathy. I know Rhiannon shares the ambitious vision for the global impact Clue can have, and I have every belief in her ability to lead Clue there. I am so grateful for the many people--founders Ida Tin and Hans Raffauf, board members, investors, advisors, mentors and friends--that have supported Clue, and me personally, over these years. And I want to say a special thank you to the best management team Rhiannon White, Greg Ryzhov, Sarah Ottawa (she/her), and Balint Veres for forming like Voltron. To my former Co-CEO Carrie Walter for holding hands and jumping in with me originally. To the whole Clue team present and past, for teaching me and inspiring me with your passion for our mission. I can’t wait to see where Clue will go next! https://lnkd.in/ejsaMEwc

Personally, I prefer Clue, always have.
Mother of the term Femtech + two kids. Co-founded Clue. Working on a book about Femtech, and a think tank to articulate the link between Femtech, economy and planetary health. Travelled the world on motorcycle.
Here is my take: There are issues that are general to the tech sector and some that are specific to Flo. Let me start with Flo: it was two men who (and I have this directly from one of them who told me this directly to my face last year) didn’t know much or care much about female health but, as serial entrepreneurs, spotted a commercial opportunity. I found my own vision statement copied on their website, and over the years they have been great executors of many ideas that came from Clue… but of course what cannot be copied is the DNA of cultural inclusion, ethical data privacy behavior, and many other such things. They did get a flying start to their fundraising as the CEO’s own capital was injected at a sky-high valuation through another company that made it look like an outside investment… and drove further investments (the first commitment is always the hardest). The story continues with a similar lack of transparency, like making it near impossible for a user to see that the company was based in Belarus, so outside the European Union and its data privacy regulations, or that their team photos showed a lot of women when in fact there were none in the leadership. All that said just to illustrate a way of being as a founder that paid off really well. At least for them as founders and maybe for their investors. However, when they produce content for millions of women with the headline “How to make your vagina smell better,” or their user’s data privacy was trespassed, I am not sure users are so well off with products built by people who don’t deeply understand what the lived experiences of women’s lives are like. And by the way, I think they meant the vulva. We need men to be involved in all aspects of building Femtech, as co(!)-founders, investors, team members, and much more. BUT: The systemic issue is that it pays off to be a confident (white) man, with money, to get more money, from men, to do things to make money. And even if we took out all the gender issues (which are real, but let’s try for a second), it is still a problem in my mind that we reward a kind of entrepreneurship that cuts corners, disrespects regulation and data privacy, and forms culture in gender-stereotypical ways… the list is so long that I notice myself taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly… Yes, this does make me angry - there are SO many brilliant, smart, brave, deeply passionate female entrepreneurs (with males along their sides) out there right now building, innovating, and driving Femtech, and they are fighting so hard to exist, to get any or near enough funding. Why did these two men make it so big? Because they played the game well. Let’s change that game. #femtech #clue #flo #vc #funding
