Startup Stories - Mika Koelma (Hey Zomi)

This event was held on Wednesday 2 August 2023

Mika Koelma is cofounder of Hey Zomi, creators of Australia's first menstrual disc. Taking no shortcuts, Hey Zomi has partnered with Australia's best designers and manufacturers, and using the highest quality medical grade silicon, help women everywhere to have periods on their own terms.

Hey Zomi is focused on creating exceptional menstrual solutions that embody innovative femtech design, strong ethics and are environmentally conscious. Taking empowerment seriously, Mika is not your regular entrepreneur, but has become an educator on period care, who with Hey Zomi, passionately seek out and nurture femme collaborations across all industries and partner with Share the Dignity to work to bring an end to period poverty in Australia.
