Ignite Pitch Competition Winner at JPM 2026
Weโre delighted to share that our co-founder Lara was crowned the winner of the ๐ฅ Ignite Fire Pitch Competition, held during J.P. Morgan Week in San Francisco ๐บ๐ธ
Ignite is a U.S. non-profit with a powerful mission: increasing the number of women leading and innovating the future of healthcare. The Ignite Fire Pitch represents the final stage of a highly competitive national (and int’l) discovery-to-acceleration pipeline, supporting early-stage healthcare founders through mentorship, validation, and investor engagement.
In front of a packed audience at the ๐จ Marinesโ Memorial Hotel โ and an outstanding panel of judges- Lara truly wowed both the room and the judges with the progress and promise of our transformational Callavidยฎ vaginal drug delivery platform. ๐
Many thanks to the judges and to the entire Ignite community for the recognition, support, and belief in what weโre building for women’s health. Weโre proud of this moment and even more excited about what lies ahead. ๐
