Tara Raffi and Carly Allen founded Almond ObGyn, the first full-service, tech-enabled OB-GYN in the country. “We have a women’s health crisis in this country,” Tara told Cheryl Robinson, Ed.D. at Forbes. “There were zero companies delivering modern tech-enabled care in OB-GYN, which is not a small niche. This is the second largest specialty. There are 110 million women in this country who need OB-GYN care at least once a year. We have the highest maternal mortality rate of all developed economies and a 75% dissatisfaction rate with OB-GYN care.” The co-founders looked into what the market lacked and what patients wanted to see change. They explored the challenges that kept care providers from offering patients quality care. It led them to Almond's model, where members receive in-depth care and access to practitioners around the clock via text to ask questions and receive detailed individualized plans. Currently, services include traditional gynecology care and a deep dive PCOS program. In the future, they plan to offer programs for menopause and fertility.

Hike Clerb Inc and Evelynn Escobar are helping historically marginalized people access nature and heal together outdoors. Below, Christiaan Vorkink shares about TrueVentures.org's support of the nonprofit.
We're excited to announce TrueVentures.org's investment in Evelynn Escobar and Hike Clerb Inc! Hike Clerb is a nonprofit that equips Black and Indigenous women, trans and other non-gender non-conforming people with the tools, education, resources, and experiences they need to heal through nature. Hike Clerb centers those most underrepresented and marginalized in the outdoors. Through the pillars of Moving through Nature, Healing through Nature, and Restoration through Nature, participants learn how to access the outdoors, dial into the mental health and spiritual benefits of being in nature, and learn tangible land solutions to take care of the planet and themselves. Evelynn speaks to her calling in a way that echoes what we've often seen in the True community over the past two decades: "I think it’s so important when starting any community to be married to your mission. Know exactly why you are investing your time into whatever you’re doing and who you’re speaking to. It should be a natural extension of you! When you’re operating from a place of authenticity, the community builds itself." We're honored to support Evelynn's vision to create cultural, economic and psychological freedom for historically marginalized people who can heal together through the outdoors.

How has the landscape for consumer brands changed over the past five years? “There was a moment in the pandemic and definitely pre-pandemic when the strongest, most resonant consumer brands of the zeitgeist were D2C and it made sense then. If you weren’t selling direct, you were missing out. People were anti-retail stores and a bit opposed to placement in big box stores," True Principal Natasha Sharma says. "We’re now in a stage where the pendulum has level set. Now founders are seeing those placements as part of their recipes in being ever-present and driving customer loyalty in as many viewpoints as the customer as possible. There’s less fear around not owning the entire shopping experience through D2C.” Learn more about Natasha, and the entire True team, here: https://lnkd.in/dfRqu_t8.
