Elvie (United Kingdom)

Elvie takes women's technology out of the dark ages.
That's the problem. Women don't have to put up with crappy designs or rosy side effects when there are self-driving cars in the world.
The company's mission is to improve the lives of women through smarter technology. Elvie approaches problems like women and tackles them like engineers, scientists and designers, starting with a real need and innovating around it.

The company creates new products, new solutions. 'We don't argue for the sake of arguing, but we are determined to speak frankly about women's bodies to give them the products they deserve.'

Armed with genuine feminine insight and world-class design expertise, Elvie is working to transform the way women think and feel.
