Our
Mission
Daré‘s mission is to challenge the status quo, making women’s health a priority.
We exist to accelerate innovation in women’s health. Science-backed treatments shouldn’t get lost in bureaucracy while women continue to go without options they can trust.
OurVision
Our Vision is to meet the increasing demand for evidence-based solutions with both uncompromising scientific rigor and rapid, responsible commercialization.
Innovation does not have to start from scratch. The potential products we identify, in many cases, already have clinical proof of concept or existing safety data for the active ingredient that we leverage.
