Gameto is a biotechnology company whose mission is to redefine female reproductive health by developing therapies that improve lives. Women’s health is a vastly underserved therapeutic area. Most conditions have few treatment options, and those available often cause frequent complications and offer limited clinical benefit. We aim to change that. Gameto is committed to using cutting-edge scientific advances to deliver better solutions to patients. Using cellular engineering, we have developed a platform to produce female reproductive cell lines. We use proprietary combinations of transcription factors to reprogram hiPSCs into engineered ovarian and endometrium cell lines that mimic the functions of endogenous cells, producing and responding to all hormones. Our team of cellular engineers is using this platform to advance a portfolio of cellular therapeutics for female reproductive diseases. Our first program, Fertilo, is a therapeutic for IVF and egg freezing, aiming to make the process shorter, safer and more effective. Additional applications of our platform include, an organoid of the female reproductive system, Deovo, and a cell-based therapeutic to ameliorate the health consequences of primary ovarian insufficiency and menopause, Ameno.

Born fierce. Raised resilient. Welcome to EBY. EBY is a membership-based company driving profits with purpose. EBY, the perfect everyday seamless panty, boasts lightweight fabric that gives a second-skin feel and look while our patented flocking technology prevents sliding and riding. They work as one with your body, so you can run, shape, and shift the world. Providing the utmost convenience for a replenishable product, EBY delivers underwear and purpose monthly, every other month, or quarterly to its community members. Styles and frequency can be customized to the author’s preference. EBY repositions underwear as a tool for empowerment rather than one of seduction. Ten percent of net sales go to the Seven Bar Foundation to empower women out of poverty and into business through microfinance with a small loan. It’s what we call a first break, and that can be as little as $80 or as large as $7,000. This loan enables an underprivileged woman to start or grow her business. As she becomes self-sufficient, the cycle of poverty is broken. Loans are repaid and passed to another woman, creating a multiplier effect. EBY consistently fuels this loop so that it never ends. We’re not about one-time solutions or patching up holes with pretty pink BAND-AID®s, though we love a colorful accessory. We want to consistently fuel the empowerment of women through business. We sustainably source our products in a factory in Sri Lanka that respects the balance between environmental, social, and economic performance. Our factory’s core company pillar focuses on Women’s Empowerment Principles, where we were jointly developed by the United Nations. Tweet. Double Tap. Like. High Five. Backflip.
