Meet Our Advisors: 8 Experts Striving for Improved Intimate Health for Women
At Joylux, we’re on a mission to improve women’s intimate health.
For decades, women’s sexual health has been ignored and overlooked by the medical research and business communities. And change doesn’t happen overnight.
We want to take a minute to celebrate our advisors who are actively driving change in the field of women's sexual health, in part because of their support, investment and/or partnership with Joylux.
