Lea Von Bidder, AVA

Lea Von Bidder, AVA

 

Founded by 29-year-old Lea Von Bidder, AVA is a fertility tracking bracelet that helps women detect their fertility window early. It achieves this through the use of sensor technology that measures temperature and nine other physiological parameters associated with a woman’s fertility period. Thereby, it allows for a more accurate prediction of a woman’s fertility window with minimal user interference.

The company aims to bring true innovation into women’s reproductive health, using sensor technology and data science. And they are well on their way to achieving this.

How Did AVA Come to Be?

A primary motivation for developing this device was the experience of an Ava co-founder, Peter Stein, and his wife. At the time, the duo had tried different options to get pregnant unsuccessfully. This then prompted Peter, alongside Lea and two other co-founders, to develop a solution using their background in tech. It led to the development of AVA, the premier fertility tracking bracelet.

Products

AVA sells the AVA fertility tracking bracelet alone.

Shipping

AVA currently ships to the USA, Canada, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and certain countries in the European Union. If you don’t reside in any of these countries, but still want to use AVA, you should sign up with us and we, at Vyking Ship will forward AVA to your home country.

Susie Bergquist, Salt + Umber

Susie Bergquist, Salt + Umber

Salt + Umber is a women led business that sells high-quality shoes without damaging the planet and the people that make them. These shoes are handcrafted, eco-conscious products that use minimal machinery in their creation. They also have reduced packaging and use recycled materials in their creation when possible.

The aim of Susie Bergquist, female founder of Salt + Umber, is to create footwear that are sustainable while empowering women.

How Did Salt + Umber Come to Be?

Susie Bergquist worked in a mass-market footwear agency where she served as the Director of Product Development for over a decade. This exposed her to the numerous unethical practices in manufacturing, including unethical labor, huge chemical use, planet-destroying activities, etc. It also made her think there had to be an alternative method that involves fewer damages.

Consequently, she resigned and created Salt + Umber in 2018. The knowledge from her previous position aided her in better understanding the finer aspects of the business. These include design, manufacturing, marketing, retail market, etc.

Products

Salt + Umber offers numerous products. These include booties, mules, sandals, handwoven leather, handbags and totes, and many more.

Shipping

Salt + Umber offers shipping services to locations within the United States only. If you reside outside the country, you need to use an alternative method like a package forwarding company.

We at Vyking Ship are a great example of this and we can get you Salt + Umber products to any country you want.
