I'm Farah Kabir, co-founder and former CEO of HANX.
HANX started as the UK's first sexual wellness brand built with women in mind, beginning with a condom designed for women. It became something larger. A women's health platform covering each stage women actually live through. Sexual wellness, prescription contraception, supplements, GLP-1s. Connecting the milestones of women's health, on their terms.
We built it into Boots, Tesco, Sephora and Sainsbury's. Launched in the US. Raised £3m across five rounds from angels and institutions including Morgan Stanley. Built a community of women who shaped every product decision we ever made.
The category didn't want us at first. Payment providers withdrew our facilities. Many VCs had vice clauses that precluded them from investing. Meta pulled the ads. I took the platform censorship fight to Parliament and 10 Downing Street. I kept building anyway.
That experience is what I bring to the work I do now. I advise founders, corporates and investors across consumer health, telehealth and beyond, alongside academic and founder-development institutions.
