For some, a walk is relaxing. For others, it’s a matter of risk assessment – taking the long way home, holding your keys between your fingers, pretending to be on a call.
That’s why Olena Lypko and her team created WomanAid, a women safety app designed to help keep you safe using a mobile SOS button, smart devices, and technology.
With just one tap, it can send an alert, record what’s happening, and notify your trusted contacts.
We’re proud to share that the app is now available to download!
This achievement also marks the completion of the Next Valley program for the team. To celebrate this milestone, Olena sent a very kind message to our CEO and founder, Egbert Ottevanger:
‘Thank you for supporting WomanAid from the very beginning. Your guidance on the legal setup and integration into the Dutch ecosystem set us on the right track.
A special thank you as well for introducing us to our Backs, Susan Bienfait and Olivier Lindeman. Their involvement has been a real support for us – in strategic decisions, compliance, and practical growth questions. We truly appreciate that this connection was made.’
We’re excited to have been a part of your journey, Olena, and can’t wait to see your next steps!
Be sure to download the app or share it with someone you care about.
