About the Founders
This week it’s all about innovation and wellness! Our three founders from the InvestHer Directory all believe this combination is the the way forward when it comes to women’s wellbeing. Ciara Donlon started Theya Healthcare when breast cancer survivors regularly came to her for comfortable, functional and beautiful alternatives when healing after their surgeries. So she created underwear made from bamboo material that helps them heal better. Polly Rodriguez believes all women deserves to experience pleasure in a safe way and by creating beautiful, body safe vibes & accessories through Unbound she is determined to make it happen. Our final trailblazer this week is Joanna Griffiths, busy bringing revolutionary solutions to life through Knix and transforming an underwear market that had too much frill and not enough function.

Join in the Celebration as Global Invest Her Proudly Shares The First 50 Featured Founders from around the world!How it all began.
When the pandemic first hit and the world closed down, we wanted to find a way to help women entrepreneurs stay visible to customers to help them keep their businesses growing and potential investors if they were fundraising. We checked the existing directories of women entrepreneurs around the world and didn't find a truly global, diverse one, that catered to both potential customers and investors and covered more than just a few tech or beauty sectors. So we built one and made it accessible to all and InvestHer Directory was born! From humble beginnings and our first curated 200 founders, we are proud to share we now feature over 1325 companies founded or co-founded by women entrepreneurs and nonbinary founders) from over 50 countries and 75 sectors! (updated weekly). InvestHer Directory is the first truly global directory of businesses founded or co-founded by women. 👉 READ MORE about the first 50 Featured Founders Not only do we celebrate IWD every day, we decided to dedicate the whole month of March to showcasing and supporting Women Entrepreneurs! #BreakTheBias
