Half the population has a uterus and the rest of you came from one - Yasmin Baba, Co-Founder and CTO, Amilis

About this episode

Yasmin Baba shares her experiences pitching her health tech startup and discusses the importance of data in addressing women's health issues.

Yasmin Baba discusses pitching her early-stage health tech startup to a room full of men, how she coped with bootstrapping by “being a minimalist with big dreams” and how she believes that better data can bring down the half a million plus women on gynaecology waiting lists. Plus, why, as a machine learning engineer, she never says she runs an AI business.
