Telling Stories, Connecting People, Building Systems with and for female founders in tech

Stop trying to fit into the reality we have. Build the one we deserve.

That’s the advice. And yes, it’s provocative.

Because making real space for women’s health in tech means being unapologetically scientific and economically aggressive about it.

Women’s health is a core healthcare problem, and it needs to be backed by core data and numbers.

The industry will not shift until founders make the case in language it can’t ignore.

If you want to understand what it actually takes to build in this space, this episode is for you.

"It's about being in a position to shape a little bit of the future, instead of just adapting to it." — Andjela Bozinac

The decisions being made right now about how AI and robotics work, who they serve, and what values they embed will define the next two decades. The engineers, founders, and builders in the room today are not just contributing to a product; they are writing the rules that others will inherit.

Andjela Bozinac, co-founder and CEO of Renovo Recycling, sees this as the core reason more women need to be building in AI and robotics right now, not later. Later means arriving after the architecture is set, the defaults are baked in, and the norms have hardened. The window to influence the foundation is open, and it will not stay open indefinitely.

As a mechanical engineer who built a modular, chemical-free solar panel deconstruction system using Physical AI and robotics, she knows what it takes to enter a space early, ask hard questions, and build something that could not exist without you.

Building a product that works technically is one challenge. Building one that actually gets adopted is a different problem entirely, and Andjela learned the difference the hard way before founding Renovo.

Here are 3 lessons Andjela wants to share with you on building a climate tech product that holds up in the real world.

Solar panels are one of the cleanest energy solutions we have. But most of them will end up in landfill, because the industry never designed for what comes after.

Andjela Bozinac is building the infrastructure to change that, before the problem becomes impossible to ignore.

Most fertility apps are built around the idea that women need technology to interpret their own bodies.

Sabrina Nowicki built Cyclisity around the opposite idea: that with the right education, women already have everything they need to understand what is happening and why.

As she puts it, “Once you understand how your body works, you don’t need an app to tell you if it’s a red or a green day. The awareness is within you.”

That shift, from dependence to awareness, runs through every decision Cyclisity has made. How the app is designed, what it teaches, and what it deliberately does not do for you.

Cyclisity is a reminder that the most meaningful technology doesn’t step in between you and your body. It gets out of the way so your own understanding can do the work.

Cyclisity is built around one clear principle: women should understand their bodies, not just trust an algorithm to interpret them.

That principle shaped everything. Who they built for, how they designed the product, why they stayed self-funded, and what data they will never collect or sell. Most founders treat those decisions as defaults. Sabrina made each one deliberately.

Three lessons from episode 153 on building a product that never compromises on what it stands for, saved for the founders who need to hear it.

Your cycle is not supposed to look like everyone else's.

Even your own cycles don't look the same from month to month.

Stress, travel, time zones, life stage. All of it affects when and how you ovulate. One cycle might be regular, the next one completely different.

And yet we're told that a "normal" cycle is exactly 28 days, as if we're all running on the same internal clock.

We're not robots.

Your body responds to what you're going through, and that's not a problem to fix. That's information to understand.

If you want to hear more about how cycles actually work and why that matters for founders, this episode is for you.

Scaling is not about doing more. It is about getting clearer on where you create the most value, and trusting others with the rest.

Izzy Sayers leads the Emerging Giants team at KPMG Netherlands, where she works closely with founders navigating tax, finance, risk, and international growth every day. What she sees consistently is that the founders who scale fastest are not the ones who try to handle everything themselves. They are the ones who know when to ask for help, when to bring in outside expertise, and how to protect their time and energy for the work only they can do.

A history degree does not seem like an obvious path into tech.

A history degree does not seem like an obvious path into tech. But for Izzy Sayers, it turned out to be exactly the right training.

Studying history means constantly switching between topics, from the history of medicine to civil rights to imperial history, and learning how to ask the right questions, understand different points of view, and create something meaningful from the information in front of you. Those are the same skills Izzy uses every day in program management, community building, and facilitation at KPMG Netherlands.

The most useful expertise is not always the most obvious kind.

Every second, somewhere in the world, a patient's life is saved by a system Carmen van Vilsteren helped build at Philips. That's not where her ambition stops.

In her own words: "I really want to impact the quality of life of people worldwide."

That intention shapes everything, from the cardiovascular imaging systems she helped turn into global gold standards, to her mission to back and coach the next generation of women innovators in healthcare.

If you want to understand what it really takes to build a global gold standard in healthcare and why women's health is one of the biggest untapped opportunities of our time — this episode is for you.
