The CEO of MY OVU in Forbes! 26 women to watch in 2026

One of those moments that makes you pause. That gives you space for reflection, gratitude, and… even greater motivation to act.

MY OVU CEO – Aleksandra Staniszewska – has made it onto Forbes’ prestigious list of “26 Women to Watch in 2026.” It’s a tremendous honour – but as she herself emphasises, this is not one person’s success.

“Success has many authors”

“Oh my God, I’m so happy” – that’s how she opens her reaction to the recognition. And it’s hard to blame her. But right after comes something far more important than the joy itself: gratitude.

This is a moment where it rings clearly that behind every success stands a team of people:

  • a dedicated team,
  • investors who believed at an early stage,
  • friends – both from university and from life,
  • and family, who provide the foundation.

A reminder that building a company – especially in a demanding sector like FemTech – is never a solo sprint. It’s a long-distance effort by many.

Why now?

The most interesting reflection, however, concerns the question: why this moment? What led to this recognition coming now? The answer is brutally honest and, at the same time, deeply true: there was no single breakthrough moment.

It was the result of a snowball effect:

  • failures,
  • tough decisions,
  • consistency,
  • and above all – refusing to give up.

All of it accumulated to the point where the market began to notice not just the product, but the mission behind MY OVU.

A mission that matters

MY OVU is not “just another product.” It’s a project that fits into a broader trend: a conscious approach to women’s health, technology, and cycle education.

And it’s precisely this mission – pursued with consistency – that is beginning to gain wider recognition: not just among users, but also in media, among experts, and across the industry.

Double pressure – and even greater motivation

This recognition carries a second dimension as well. Last year, MY OVU made it onto the list of promising FemTech startups in Poland. Now – an individual recognition for the CEO.

As she puts it herself:

“Now we have double the pressure.”

But this isn’t pressure that paralyses. It’s the kind that drives you forward.
