✨🌟 A Moment of Gratitude and Resilience 🌟✨
Last night, during the award ceremony, I experienced a moment I will replay over and over in my mind. But what I felt goes far beyond words. I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who believed in me, who voted for me, and who helped turn this dream into reality. I am honored to receive the award for Newcomer Entrepreneur of the Year in the startup community awards, and I want to share this victory with all of you.
I had prepared a speech, but when the moment arrived, everything changed. What I truly wanted to convey was the very essence of Héra care solutions. We are developing an electronic device paired with an app designed to predict symptoms related to hormonal fluctuations—especially menstrual pain and its associated discomforts—before they appear and to provide relief.
Our project goes far beyond solving a problem. It is about empowering every woman to take control of her cycle, to no longer suffer its effects at the cost of her personal or professional life. We want to end the need for constant adaptation because every woman on this planet deserves to live fully, without being held back by menstrual cycle challenges.
I firmly believe that the future of medicine is preventive, and we need your support to bring this vision to life. I want to warmly thank the gala organizers, Montréal NewTech (MTL NewTech), Startupfest, and all the partners. A heartfelt thank you to Sophie Poirier 👈, Josée Desjardins, MBA, Laurence Audette-Lagueux, Imane Tabbara, MBA, C. Adm. Inès Guellif my Co-founder ( my lovely sister, the girl behind the idea 💜 ) and all the extraordinary women who believed in me before even believing in the project.
To my #Father, my first mentor and guide, I dedicate this award. He has supported me every step of the way, and it is thanks to his wisdom and experience that we have mobilized so many people around this victory.
To everyone who embraced me this year, thank you. Even though it sometimes required fighting for a seat at the table, every challenge has been a joy. And to those who told me "no," know that every rejection can turn into a future "maybe."
So, if I can offer one piece of advice, it’s to believe in your dreams and never give up. Hard work always pays off in the end. I cherish this victory, especially after such a challenging year.
Thank you, thank you, thank you all for your unwavering support! 💖
