Check out the next edition of our series spotlighting our remarkable portfolio companies and the work they are doing to disrupt their industries! Today we want to highlight Claire Coder, CEO and Founder of Aunt Flow - designing a world where every bathroom outside the home offers free period products. Read on to learn more about Claire and Aunt Flow! 🩸 What They Do: Aunt Flow provides free-vend dispensers stocked with tampons and pads for businesses and schools to make period products more accessible. They work with 900+ organizations including Phoenix Mercury, KIPP Foundation, O’Hare International Airport, Google, and University of California, San Diego to name a few. 86% of women reportedly started their period in public without the supplies they needed. Providing Aunt Flow period products recuperates lost work hours, increases school attendance, and is just the right thing to do! 🩸 Why They Do It: After getting her period in public without the supplies she needed, Claire thought to herself - toilet paper is offered for free, why aren’t tampons and pads? At that moment, she decided to drop out of college and start Aunt Flow at 18 years old. She’s been on a mission to ensure everyone has access to period products ever since. 🩸 How We Met: We met Claire and the Aunt Flow team through introductions from Sharad Daswani at Spru Ventures and Jordan Barker at Bark Equities - both part of our extensive co-investor network. While many of our investments come through our accelerator programs, we also actively leverage our network to source investment opportunities that fit our thesis. 🩸 Chloe Effect: Aunt Flow has engaged across the Chloe Capital ecosystem. The team has leveraged the Chloe network for numerous introductions to potential customers, advocates, and candidates. Claire says it best, “we are insanely grateful for their network!”. Additionally, Claire actively engages in the Slack community, where she can ask any question and receive support and advice from fellow portfolio founders. 🩸 What is Next for Aunt Flow: Aunt Flow has recently made changes to its products and packaging to ensure they’re keeping menstruators - and the planet - front and center in all that they do. They have removed all plastic from their cartridge pad packaging and eliminated the paper branding strap on their cartridge pad bundles. In addition to the brand’s sustainability efforts, Aunt Flow is committed to increasing access to quality period care and recently rolled out 36-count boxes of tampons and pads to be sold online at goauntflow.com and on Amazon.
