Thesis Week 8: Lost at Sea

I’m feeling a bit lost. This week as our class started brainstorming solutions for our thesis projects and I’m struggling to come up with meaningful ideas. As I reflect back on my process so far and the insights I’ve gathered, it still feels a bit shallow. It doesn’t feel like the insights I’ve gathered are hard pain points that truly embodies struggles women face with their health. So I continue back looking at the problem statement and the people I’ve interviewed and easily spot that it stems from my problem statement, which is too broad.

So what to do?

I’ve reached out to a few specialists within the health umbrella — entrepreneurs who are within the femtech space and specialized medical professionals. My assumption is that by talking with these specialists, I can get a better idea of the health landscape and it’ll help me scope down the current wide and all-encompassing problem statement I have.

In the meantime, as I wait for replies, I’m going to spend more time researching areas within the space.
