Here's a mind-blowing quote from Carine Carmy, CEO of Origin: "100% of women deliver a baby through their vagina or through a major surgery...yet there's no national standard for rehab and recovery." But here's the thing - the data is even more mindblowing: "1 in 6 women have chronic painful sex, 1 in 3 adult women experience incontinence, and FIFTY percent of women going through menopause experience vaginal atrophy." This is the gap that Origin is trying to fill, starting with pelvic floor dysfunction and other often-underserved physical therapy diagnoses, and evolving into a tech-enabled, rapidly growing holistic women's health company. Their growth has been absolutely astounding since starting in 2020, and they've built a deep roster of clinical experts and clinicians to support the hypergrowth startup environment needed to tackle a challenge as massive as women's health shortfalls. If you're passionate about women's health, and looking for a rocketship startup that shares your passion before it transforms from "kinda big" to "gargantuan player", Origin might be it.
