🌟 Introducing Alex Plaza, Founder of Moonchy and a participant in our FF Acceleration Program! 🚀 🌍 Alex established Moonchy driven by her deep passion for nutrition research. This project is rooted in Alex’s long-standing conviction that food can be a powerful form of medicine. The launch of Moonchy was a defining moment in Alex’s professional path, deepening her fascination with cycle syncing and reinforcing her mission to revolutionise women’s health by integrating nutrition with a deep understanding of the female body’s natural rhythms.  With a master’s in strategic entrepreneurship, Alex combined her faith in food’s healing properties with a dedication to increasing female founder representation in the startup world.

Yesterday's FF Female Founders Investment Readiness Accelerator Kick-off Event at Impact Hub Viadukt was a fantastic start into the program that helps female (co-)founded startups to get investment ready! We started with a warm welcome and an introduction to the program, followed by an insightful first session on perfecting the investment proposition led by Regula Buob. The startups then had the opportunity to pitch their ideas, and it was inspiring to see their passion and innovation on display. After the pitches, we enjoyed an Apero where participants had the chance to connect and network with all coaches. Congratulations to the startups that made it into the program: CatnClever, Vetli, Circle Toys, NEUR.ON, GAIA Children, rayne care, Red drop Lab, and Moonchy. We're excited to support them on their journey to investment readiness! Stay tuned for more updates on their progress.
