Join us as we chat with Nicole + Jacky, founders of Alli.  They shared their story of why they decided to build a mission-based startup and lessons they learned how to build a startup from scratch put keeping their mission as top of mind. Alli was born out of a desire to see public spaces designed with women’s needs in mind. After years of women having little to no access to feminine hygiene products when and where they needed them most (in the restroom), Alli was created to improve the spaces women frequent and address the modern-day woman’s wants and needs surrounding feminine care.
