Therapy for Latinx
Within the Latin community, therapy has always held a certain level of stigma and taboo—therapy is only for los locos.
Therapy for Latinx is looking to reshape the approach the Latin community takes when it comes to their mental wealth by providing resources and access to licensed professionals who will truly understand the intricacies and nuances of tu cultura.

Maude
When founder and CEO Éva Goicochea set out to create Maude, she wanted to establish a brand that offered a modern sexual wellness company with "quality, simplicity and inclusivity" at its core.
So in 2018, Goicochea, her team and Maude's medical advisory board set out to do just that—soon catching the attention of actress Dakota Johnson in 2020 as an investor and Co-Creative Director.
