We are Ludo - Friday 17th March 2023

View this email in your browser Hello! The last couple of weeks have been busy busy busy! I returned from Australia and started the Boot Camp week for the FemTechLab Accelerator. We are a cohort of 12 and the other businesses are an inspiration. I feel very grateful to be alongside other Founders doing good stuff in the FemTech space. We have a Menopause Food Supplement called Bomimo (they will be joining as a partner so watch this space!) and a skin care brand focused on supporting mental health. Add to that an app called Happy Sneeze to help incontinence/leaking post childbirth and a DIY smear test kit you can do at home. For the next 12 weeks, post the intense bootcamp week, we have calls in the week to help develop our brand/product and expedite our businesses. We welcome Annie to the team at Ludo. She is an intern with us for the next 6 weeks. We had a team day yesterday to review our strategy post my Australia trip and the Accelerator, and finalise our OKRs as a team. Exciting times for Ludo! In other news, we won our most exciting award Global HR Tech of the Year 2023 and we have a blog on how to stay healthy during pregnancy. At Ludo we were pleased to see, in the Budget, Jeremy Hunt announced a major expansion of childcare support allowing some parents to claim 30 hours of free childcare a week. We know this will be staged between now and September 2025, but it is a step in the right direction.  Don't forget to fill in our survey on how female friendly your workplace is!
