In this episode, I sit down with Farah Kabir, the CEO and Co-Founder of HANX, a healthcare company on a mission to support women through all major life stages—from first experiences to motherhood, menopause, and beyond. HANX first made waves by transforming the condom market and now offers a wide range of products, including intimate care, oral contraceptives, supplements, and weight management solutions.
Farah shares her journey from a career at Goldman Sachs to leading HANX, where she’s breaking taboos around sex, pleasure, and intimate health. As an advocate for underrepresented entrepreneurs, particularly women of color, she focuses on driving international growth and attracting investments to transform the global dialogue on women’s health.
In our conversation, she shares her inspiring journey from Goldman Sachs to founding HANX, and what motivated her to enter the women’s health space.
We cover topics like:
- How HANX’s product range has evolved to meet the needs of women at different life stages.
- Farah’s favorite products and what makes them stand out.
- The addition of supplements and GLP-1 medications—how these align with trends like Ozempic and benefit women’s health.
- The journey of getting HANX products into major UK retailers like Boots and Tesco, and the impact this visibility has on women’s health awareness.
- Balancing e-commerce growth with in-store partnerships and scaling into international markets like the U.S.
- Insights on women’s health and the challenges of raising capital in a historically underserved industry.
- Farah’s advice for aspiring entrepreneurs and what’s next for HANX.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in learning about Hanx's mission, building in the sexual health space, the role of GLP-1 in women's health, navigating fundraising, and Hanx's product offerings.
