Closing the Book on Zencape Health, But Not the Story
- Zencape Health, a platform that offered specialized and personalized care for pelvic conditions will be shut down due to lack of unit economics. The company aspired to elevate the standard of care for women, trans and non-binary individuals, people of color, and communities which healthcare has historically overlooked. Zencape Health integrated pelvic floor physical therapists, pain psychologists, nutrition experts, and gynecological surgeons through app-driven treatment plans to offer curated care.
- The founder, who faced numerous insults and comments that questioned her credibility said that time was arguably the most valuable asset for a founder and building a company is like hitting the bullseye at the top of Everest, and biased expectations felt like a daily avalanche — relentlessly counterproductive. Despite being one of the 1.9% of female entrepreneurs who raised venture funds, building as a woman in this space had its unique challenges.
- Zencape Health made a difference in the lives of its users and made them feel heard, seen, and supported. The users expressed their delight in finally feeling like they weren't left to figure things out alone. Despite the founder's uncertainty of what's next, the platform's impact and the stand they made for equitable care are both wins in her book.
- Building a more equitable healthcare system is imperative, and Zencape Health played a role in that journey. The founder’s resilience in the face of challenges inspires other founders grinding it out, and she reminds them that the obstacles are relentless, but their resilience should be too.
- The founder expressed her gratitude to the kind, hardworking and extraordinary individuals who invested in Zencape, built it, and trusted the platform with their healthcare needs.
- The founder acknowledged that building a successful company is complicated, and there’s never one single reason why a company comes to an end. Although the founder had setbacks, she remains optimistic and continues to look forward to other possibilities.
