7 Secrets From Women Founders Changing How We Experience Health Products

Earlier this year, our In Women’s Health Mini-MBA cohort had the extraordinary opportunity to hear from two pioneering founders as guest speakers:

Amanda Johnson, Founder of Julie, and Michelle Jacobs, Co-founder of Womaness and investor across multiple women’s health ventures.

Both have fundamentally changed how women’s health products reach and resonate with consumers, blending business expertise with a deep understanding of women’s lives. Amanda transformed emergency contraception from a functional product into a movement that empowers women, and Michelle has guided countless startups to navigate the complex intersection of product, policy, and consumer behavior.

Here’s what they shared about creating products that resonate, scale, and inspire:

1. Solve the real problem women face, not just the one you imagine

Amanda’s journey with Julie began with a simple but powerful insight: the chemical compound in emergency contraception already works. Plan B had been on shelves since 2012, yet unplanned pregnancies remained high. Amanda reflected, “I realized that almost 50% of pregnancies in the US are untimed or unwanted, yet the product on shelves hadn’t changed in a decade.” The problem wasn’t the medication—it was how women accessed it, understood it, and felt about it. By reframing the problem, Amanda positioned Julie not just as a pill, but as a resource, a conversation starter, and a tool for empowerment.

She shared an anecdote about launching in retail: “We knew this business could only succeed in retail. It wasn’t a DTC business, so I raised $5 million pre-launch. Investors understood that experience and preparation matter—it’s not just about the idea, it’s about knowing the market.” By solving the real-world problem women faced—quick access, clarity, and reduced stigma—Julie became a product people trusted and turned to.

2. Make the story as important as the product

Julie’s differentiator wasn’t the pill—it was the story, humor, and relatability behind it. Amanda explained, “Make them laugh, then you can make them learn.” The team knew that no matter how effective the medication, women often felt intimidated, shamed, or confused about emergency contraception. By weaving humor into the product experience—from packaging to marketing campaigns—they created an approachable, memorable connection that went far beyond the pill itself.

An unexpected advantage came during the Hollywood writers’ strike: “We got cheap, amazing comedy writers who were out of work to help us craft taglines and commercials,” Amanda laughed. This wasn’t just a clever hack—it became a core part of Julie’s strategy. Humor became the vehicle to deliver critical education about reproductive health, breaking down stigma and making women feel empowered rather than judged.

Michelle Jacobs, who spoke alongside Amanda, emphasized, “Branding and story are not decoration—they are tools. You can’t just make a product and expect people to understand or care. You have to meet your audience where they are, in their language, their culture, their moment.” By centering the experience, identity, and confidence of the user, Julie transformed a decades-old product into something women actually wanted to pick off the shelf and talk about.

3. Know your market—even if you’re not in it

Amanda, a millennial, was building Julie for Gen Z—a generation she wasn’t part of. Rather than guessing what would resonate, she immersed herself fully in their world. “I am constantly doing focus groups and surveys, hiring Gen Z because I am not the voice of that generation,” she explained. Her approach shows that successful product leaders don’t rely on assumptions—they listen, observe, and adapt.

She shared a vivid example from a college campus pop-up: “We went to a trivia night on campus, and the students had insights I would never have guessed. They laughed, asked questions, and shared stories. It completely changed how we framed our campaigns.” That night taught her that authentic connection requires entering your audience’s environment, seeing the world through their perspective, and letting their behavior guide your strategy.

The lesson extends beyond marketing: when designing products, packaging, or services, immerse yourself in the context of the people who will use them. Amanda’s insight is clear—product innovation isn’t just about the features you create; it’s about understanding the lives, language, and challenges of the people you’re serving, even if that world isn’t your own.

4. Leverage what you know, hire for what you don’t

Amanda’s journey with Julie shows the power of focusing on your strengths while deliberately filling gaps with others’ expertise. Before Julie, her experience was in retail, product distribution, and fundraising—not chemistry or pharmaceutical development. She leaned into those skills to secure placement in Walmart, Target, CVS, and Walgreens, eventually reaching more than 18,000 stores. “I wasn’t bringing the chemistry,” she reflected, “I was bringing retail contacts, investor contacts, and an understanding of consumers meet physical product companies.”

The real lesson is in knowing where your superpowers lie—and where you can’t go alone. Amanda built a team that complemented her gaps: scientists, marketers, and Gen Z experts who could bring knowledge she didn’t have. “It’s not about doing everything yourself. Hire people who fill your gaps, and you’ll scale faster and smarter,” she said.

This approach allowed Julie to grow strategically and rapidly. By combining deep knowledge of your own strengths with the humility to rely on others’ expertise, Amanda shows that founders don’t need to be perfect—they need to be smart about where they lead and where they delegate. It’s a blueprint for anyone building a product: focus your energy where you can make the biggest impact, and assemble a team to cover the rest.

5. Be ruthlessly iterative

Amanda’s experience with launching Julie’s second SKU—a cold sore product—illustrates that innovation isn’t just about ideas, it’s about listening to the market and being willing to let go. Initially, the team poured energy into marketing the new product, confident it would expand their reach. “We tried launching the cold sore product with a lot of marketing energy,” Amanda recounted. “After a few months, we realized the shelves weren’t moving, feedback was lukewarm, and our audience was clear.”

What followed wasn’t easy. Accepting that a product didn’t resonate meant confronting sunk costs, bruised egos, and expectations. Yet Amanda embraced the principle of ruthless iteration: “Be ruthless with your SKUs. If it’s not working, pivot or discontinue. Don’t cling to ideas because of ego or sunk costs.” By discontinuing the cold sore SKU by year-end, the team freed itself to focus on products that truly mattered to women, rather than stretching resources thin on underperforming ideas.

The insight extends beyond pharmaceuticals. Amanda emphasized that data-driven decision-making, constant testing, and fearless adaptation are essential in any product sector. Every launch is a learning opportunity; the real power lies in using those lessons to iterate faster, smarter, and closer to what your customers actually want.

6. Empowerment drives engagement

Amanda and Michelle both stressed that products in women’s health aren’t just functional—they’re vehicles for education, confidence, and community. Julie’s approach goes beyond selling emergency contraception; it creates a ripple effect of empowerment. For every product purchased, another is donated to a partner organization, ensuring access for women who might otherwise go without. “We didn’t just want to help women with money—we wanted to help women everywhere,” Amanda said, reflecting on the scale of their social impact.

Engagement also comes from creating experiences that are educational, relatable, and even fun. Amanda shared one of her favorite anecdotes from a college campus pop-up: “We hosted a sex trivia night, and the students were laughing, asking questions, and sharing stories. The insights we gathered completely changed how we framed campaigns—it wasn’t just marketing, it was listening to their lives and speaking their language.”

Michelle emphasized the emotional resonance of a product: “Understanding the context in which a product is used—what it means for women, what barriers they face—can turn a transactional purchase into a transformative experience.” When women feel informed, respected, and represented, they don’t just buy a product—they become advocates, storytellers, and change agents, spreading awareness and reducing stigma in ways that a marketing campaign alone never could.

This principle underlines a powerful lesson for anyone developing products for women: true engagement comes from empowerment, not just consumption. When a product validates experiences, educates users, and amplifies voices, it inspires loyalty, advocacy, and lasting impact.

7. Curiosity and adaptability are lifelong advantages

Amanda and Michelle both emphasized that curiosity isn’t just a trait—it’s a strategic tool that fuels innovation and resilience. Amanda shared, “If you hear something in the news and it seems like it could be a trend, don’t just notice it—explore it. Buy a slice of Bitcoin, experiment with AI, read the research, attend a conference. You don’t need to be an expert, but you must understand the landscape.” This willingness to explore unfamiliar territory allows founders to anticipate changes, spot opportunities, and make informed decisions.

Michelle reinforced the point from a broader perspective: women’s health is a space shaped by culture, policy, science, and rapidly evolving consumer expectations. “The ability to absorb new information, iterate on it, and adapt quickly is what separates companies that survive from those that thrive,” she said. Adaptability isn’t optional; it’s essential for lasting impact.

The work of Amanda Johnson and Michelle Jacobs shows that product creation is only one part of the equation. They didn’t just launch items on shelves—they redefined how women engage with them, making products tools for education, empowerment, and community. Their approach teaches founders to listen deeply, leverage their unique strengths, make data-informed decisions, and create experiences that matter.

For anyone building in women’s health, their insights are a blueprint for meaningful, scalable innovation: curiosity keeps you ahead, adaptability keeps you relevant, and empathy ensures your work truly improves lives.
