MY OVU in Forbes! 25 of the most promising start-ups promoting sexual health and education

Przygotowano przez:Aleksandra Staniszewska

There are all sorts of business features, but this one really stirs the emotions.

And it’s happened!

MY OVU has been featured in the latest issue of Forbes Women Polska (4/2025) – and, importantly, not as an advert, but as part of an expert, in-depth feature.

That’s a huge difference. And a huge step forward.

A list that really matters

MY OVU has been recognised in the ranking of the 25 most promising FemTech start-ups in Poland.
What is most impressive is not just the fact that we’re on the list, but:

  • selection criteria
  • selection panel
  • the community we find ourselves in

The selection was made by people such as:

  • Katarzyna Dębek
  • Anja Rubik
  • Ana Wolsztajn
  • Piotr Zając
  • Małgorzata Durska
  • Jagoda Zakrzewska

This is important because it shows one thing:
FemTech is no longer a niche – it is starting to be taken seriously.

FemTech isn’t just a trend. It’s a response to real needs

One thing comes across very clearly in Piotr Zieliński’s article:

FemTech isn’t a single technology or a single business model.

It’s an entire field that has emerged because, for years:

women’s health needs were under-diagnosed

data was incomplete

solutions were designed to be ‘one-size-fits-all’, which often meant they were ill-suited

And that is precisely why this list is so diverse.

Because it brings together projects that:

solve different problems

operate in different areas

but share a common goal: to genuinely support women’s health

A start-up is one challenge. FemTech is another

There’s no point sugar-coating it.

Building a start-up is difficult.
Building a start-up in FemTech is even harder.

Why?

Because on top of the ‘standard’ challenges, there are:

educating the market from scratch

breaking taboos

explaining why it’s needed at all

fighting for credibility in the health sector

Just a few years ago, many people reacted to MY OVU with the question: “Who needs that?”
Today, the same solution features in lists of the country’s most promising projects. This shows just how much attitudes are changing.

This isn’t just our success

The greatest satisfaction?
Not just from the award itself.
But from the fact that:

the list includes projects we know

we talk to

we support

Because at FemTech, we really often feel that: the game is on

What does this mean?

This kind of recognition is not just a “nice gesture”.
It’s a sign that:

women’s health is entering the mainstream

there is a need for technology in this area

the market is beginning to understand the value of data and cycle tracking

And that means one thing:
we’re only just getting started.

So what’s next?

For MY OVU, this is a moment that:

confirms the direction we’re heading in

gives us even greater motivation

but also… raises the bar

Because if something is starting to get noticed, it has to be even better.

And that’s exactly what we’re focusing on right now.
