HUGE Update: Cadence OTC completes first close of our strategic round with $8.7M+ in commitments! 🥳 This year’s challenging fundraising environment prompted us to be creative and expand our community to secure the investments.

Most of our existing investors participated, including The Disney Family, Elizabeth Banks, and The Koogle Family.

Cadence OTC is raising on Wefunder so advocates of reproductive health can invest alongside traditional institutional investors, angels, and venture capitalists– together promoting a future where there are no more barriers to birth control. Our community round is closing soon! If you're looking for a reason to become a shareholder or increase your investment, here are some great ones, directly from our investors themselves: 💫 I am one of three sisters, and I am a mother of three daughters. Thank you for your amazing and meaningful work on behalf of all the women in my family, community, and globally. 💫 Women need this option more than ever given the current political climate. 💫 I’m thrilled to be investing at a time when people in this country need unfettered access to birth control more than ever before. 💫 The fact that in 2024, OTC birth control is not available to US women is unfathomable when it has been available in other countries for years… I know that it is achievable in the US. I believe that companies like Cadence OTC are a long time coming and I am here for it. 💫 I’m a huge believer in this company, its mission, and its prospects for growth and success! Our round won’t be open much longer! Invest or increase your investment today at wefunder.com/cadenceotc
