Overview

Liv Labs (@livlabsfitness) is a US-based, Y Combinator-backed women's wellness innovator. Some 78 million American women live with pelvic floor weakness and 31M worry daily about leaking. Liv Labs now sells the patented Pippa® Resistance Spring to boost a healthy user's pelvic floor fitness during exercise, when it matters most.

Pippa inventor, Carly Price, reimagined the humble pillow for Casper and has 45 patents to her name. Company CEO, Melody Roberts, incubated digital service experiences now scaling globally at McDonald's and Panera. Pippa development was substantially funded by non-dilutive SBIR grants from NIH, NSF, and State of Illinois, based on stellar product effectiveness data and user feedback like, "With this, surgery is off the table."
