We’re Knocking Down the Obstacles Between Women and the Reproductive Health Options They Want. Starting with The Pill.
The courage to hope. The resilience to persist. The determination to overcome. Every day, women everywhere face down fears, seize opportunities, beat the odds, and hustle to move ahead. They strive. They thrive. They high-five.
Women buck up, speak up, lift others up. They challenge bias. Defy norms. Crush the day-to-day, keep life flowing and make it work.
Women are capable of feats of greatness and acts of kindness. With huge effort and small gestures, they make the impossible possible, every day. They are wildly capable of making their own reproductive health decisions.
A powerful alliance of renowned reproductive health experts, world-class entrepreneurs, and champions of women. We are knocking down the obstacles between women and the reproductive health options they want. We’re removing unnecessary limits. And abolishing extra layers of restrictions.
Cadence OTC is opening access to safe, effective, and affordable options directly to all women. Starting with The Pill.
We are taking bold action to put The Pill safely into the hands of all women – if and when they want it. Without compromise. And without a prescription. Because we believe in women.
Women face countless challenges, and still they push forward. Forward to a destiny of their own design. To a future with more possibility. More power. More hope. And more options.
We are passionate with purpose. We are optimists and operators. We have a bold mission and plan.
Our Values are the Foundation of Our Culture
Cadence OTC whole-heartedly embraces the magnificent diversity of humanity.
People of every color. Of every religion. People of every age, shape, shade and identity. Because we believe every person is capable of making their own personal health decisions.
We value, affirm, and stand beside all genders. Our intended definition of ‘women’ is inclusive, though we understand gender is fluid. We deeply appreciate—and, in fact, celebrate!—that an individual's identity might not conform to the limited binary definition of gender they were assigned at birth. We aspire to deliver a portfolio of reproductive health products to serve the full spectrum of people who wish to use them.
Established in 2016 in Oakland, California, Cadence OTC is founded, led, and supported by an industrious team of world-class entrepreneurs, renowned reproductive physicians, and experts from the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
