The WHIN Collaboratory is a dedicated innovation space providing unparalleled support for innovators and early-stage companies focused on women’s health. Beyond its professional office environment designed for startups and hybrid work strategies, the true value of the Collaboratory lies in its access to mentors and industry experts who are knowledgeable about building and scaling companies within the women’s health vertical. These experts offer guidance on a range of topics, from product development and market fit to business strategy and operations. Each member company is paired with a dedicated Key Advisor who helps identify the right expertise from a pool of WHIN Mentors to tackle current challenges. Additionally, these mentors bring extensive networks of industry contacts that can be leveraged. The nurturing environment of the WHIN Collaboratory fosters a rich exchange of ideas and best practices, essential for overcoming the unique challenges faced by companies in the sector. 

The WHIN Collaboratory also allows companies to focus their limited resources on their core business functions rather than extraneous but necessary things like printers, furniture, conference space, wifi service, etc. The Membership agreement is a short-term commitment (minimum 3 months) that allows companies to have access to a professional environment without a major commitment often required with commercial office arrangements. It also offers the flexibility as companies grow and  expand their team  to easily add additional space and furnishings with a simple membership addendum.
