Emily Levy
In 2017, only 2% of venture capital spending went to female-founded companies. Emily Levy, who leads Mighty Well, was one of those women, with investors to date including Breakaway Ventures, Tim Draper, and Republic.
Emily has participated in world-class business programs including: MassChallenge, the Clinton Global Initiative University, Babson’s Center for Women’s Entrepreneurial Leadership and its Women Innovating Now (WIN) Lab, as well as the Arthur M. Blank Center for Entrepreneurship and its Summer Venture Program. She was recently awarded the MITX Future Leaders Group Award.
Levy is a frank, energetic, and seasoned speaker on youth/female entrepreneurship and understanding the patient perspective in healthcare. In her free time, Levy also advocates about spreading Lyme Disease Awareness.
And, we almost forgot to mention Mighty Well! It was launched with one simple goal – to enhance the lives of people with a chronic health condition. To do this, it has created a collection of attractive products that patients with long term conditions need to use everyday. Products that cry out LIFE not illness.
Many an entrepreneur starts her company out of her own need. It was no different for Emily Levy, who, as a college sophomore, was diagnosed with Chronic Neurological Lyme Disease. She would have to wear a PICC line — a thin tube that is inserted into a vein in her arm — to continuously feed her medication. To protect the PICC line, health professionals recommended that she wear a cut-off sock over it.
