What Investors Say

LEAD INVESTOR
Invested $10,000 this round + $10,000 previously
In my role as Founder and CEO of The Justice Dept, I’m deeply dedicated to championing female empowerment across the tech, consumer products, wellness, media, entertainment, and fashion industries. Cadence OTC’s efforts to amplify access to birth control mirror these core values, making this investment a natural extension of my professional and personal commitment to women's rights.
As an investor, I seek transformative opportunities that change the status quo. By diligently working to bring The Pill over-the-counter and to introduce emergency contraceptives to convenience stores nationwide, Cadence OTC is redefining a future of universal contraceptive access that will empower women to take control of their reproductive health.
Samantha, Nap and their team are exceptional.  They have progressed the field of reproductive health globally, and brought products like Flonase from prescription to over-the-counter, led startups to successful exits, and scaled major consumer brands like Herbal Essences and OneTouch.  Now we’re seeing their ability to execute on the Cadence commercial plan, closing major partnerships granting exclusive access to over 150,000 convenience stores, and generating over $400K in the first couple months of product sales. 
Leading this SPV and teaming up with Cadence OTC is a huge honor. It’s a chance to contribute to something big, advocating for a future where contraceptive access is equitable and accessible to all. I'm excited to be a part of this promising venture that is poised to make a lasting impact on women's lives worldwide.
