Maternova
A women's health solutions company with a pioneering anti-Zika apparel product
For the Zika project we will sell the maternity line at retail prices so that higher-income women have access to stylish apparel that protects against Zika. Part of the proceeds will be used to subsidize a line of protective apparel for low-income women in the countries hardest hit by Zika. We will also market and sell to governments and humanitarian organizations, already our customers.
Using a patented nanotechnology-enhanced textile that REPELS the mosquitos that carry Zika, we are manufacturing stylish but affordable garments that women can wear during the day to protect themselves agains the Zika virus.
Maternova is combining fashion + science to create and commercialize Zika-protective apparel.
