Dr. Somi Javaid on Her Time, Her Health Podcast

Never give up your CEO seat.

Dr. Somi Javaid just dropped the REAL truth about raising $40M, selling her company, and what she'd do differently.

Here's what 10+ years of building in women's health taught her:

  • Stay scrappy & self-funded as LONG as possible

  • Pick investors like life partners (because they are)

  • Healthcare needs providers + VCs + patients TOGETHER

  • The lonely truth? Leadership can be isolating AF

  • Nobody knows your business better than YOU

The biggest regret? Giving up her CEO seat when she became CMO.

From raising capital as part of the 0.4% of WOC securing VC funding to successfully exiting HerMD, this conversation is for every founder who thinks they need to sacrifice control to scale.

Your mission. Your vision. Your voice. Don't give that up.
