On this episode, we talk with Emily Levy, the Co-Founder, and CEO of Mighty Well. Mighty Well creates functional and stylish apparel and accessories to help patients turn sickness into strength. Mighty Well was started out of a need that Emily had herself after she was diagnosed with Chronic Neurological Lyme Disease and had a PICC line put in. She noticed that all the options available to cover it weren’t conducive to living a functional and “normal” life. Emily decided that she needed to create a solution… and Mighty Well was it. They currently have six products out so far and have raised around $500,000 from investors like Breakaway Ventures, Tim Draper and crowdfunding platform, Republic. We focus in on Mighty Well’s experience raising money as a woman-led team, the unique aspect of developing a super personal product, how to build an engaging and community-driven brand, and much more!
