Here’s who’s shaping the future of tech in Canada right now 👇

Tell us about what your company does

Coral is a women’s digital health platform on a mission to improve the lives of Canadian women by setting a new standard for menopause care. Coral focuses on evidence-based treatments, holistic solutions and a team-based approach tailored to each individual’s hormonal and metabolic needs.

By providing accessible, personalized and ongoing medical care and follow-ups, Coral empowers women to thrive during perimenopause, menopause and the years beyond.

What was the insight / inspiration that led you to launching it?

Coral was born out of a recognition of the health decline women experience in their mid-life due to the lack of preventative and effective menopause care.

95% of women experience menopause symptoms, we are helping a whole generation of women thrive and achieve optimal health.

How did you build this?

The first step you took to building your product, business etc. We first tested a low-tech product and service with a pilot group. They all ended up achieving great health outcomes and results and now rave about the Coral product, and these members are still with us receiving ongoing care.

What advice would you share with others who are trying to build right now?

Test your solution with a few users, make sure they love it, and when you start growing the solution, continue focusing on users loving your product. User experience, in my opinion, is always one of the main things to get right when building a business.

What has been the most pleasant surprise of building?

One of the biggest has been seeing how true transparency and accountability within our team creates not only better performance, but a more empowered and genuinely happy culture.

Also, we see that the majority of women on our platform come for support with menopause, but they stay because they see the value of preventive, continuous care. They want to age with confidence, to live fully and vibrantly—and we’re honored they trust us to support them in that journey.

What advice do you wish you had been given before you started?

Start as early as possible - entrepreneurship skills are learned and perfected overtime, and as soon as you have the flame, go for it and give it a try.

Want even more insights? Anna Chif, CEO and Co-Founder of Coral will be joining our stage on April 16 in Montreal to share a deeper dive into entrepreneurship and building in Canada.

It’s your opportunity to get first-hand access to the Founder behind the idea.
