Meet Euphoria, a New Trans-Focused App Backed by Chelsea Clinton, Others
Summary
Founded in 2019 after a winning pitch at HackOut, the nation’s only hackathon geared specifically toward aspiring LGBTQ+ tech entrepreneurs, Euphoria aims to empower the transgender community through every facet of their lives. Now, with more than $250,000 of fresh funding in its coffers (raised by prominent players like Chelsea Clinton and Gaingels), the company is well on its way to dominating the burgeoning space of trans health and lifestyle tech. Anthony says, eventually, she would like the company to be considered an “Adobe equivalent” for gender transition, providing unique products for each specific pain point or moment in a trans person’s journey. So it’s definitely a very needed product.” Finally, there’s Solace (the platform that won at HackOut in 2019), a resource guide that offers current, credible information to help transgender people through whatever process of gender transition they desire. But largely, during HackOut when we were down here for that one weekend, we just fell in love with the place and decided that if we ever were able to raise the requisite funds we would relocate [here].” Euphoria also plans to grow its team.
