Why Tampon Tribe?

Tampon Tribe is creating a whole new category of organic performance period care by designing and manufacturing toxin-free, organic, plastic-free period products that people love. We use innovative and environmentally-friendly materials, helping our customers protect their bodies and the planet.

The feminine hygiene market is set to reach $68.70 billion by 2030. The recent Berkeley study of heavy metals and toxins in tampons, even some so-called "organic" brands, opened the doors to massive growth opportunities for us, as people hurry to switch to products that won't poison their bodies and disrupt their endochrine systems. The TikTok push towards low-tox and PFAS-free products has also resulted in significant growth and expansion. Boasting a recurring-revenue, impact-driven model, Tampon Tribe is positioned for rapid acceleration and a fast exit.

Tampon Tribe is the only US period products company to be GOTS-certified organic. We are 100% toxin-free, and 100% plastic free, creating a significant moat and proven traceability from seed to shelf.

This gives us a massive first-mover competitive advantage. We compete where no one else does.

Demand for toxin-free, sustainable & organic period products is exploding, however, they’re notoriously hard to find.

We have solidified a preferred vendor partnership with Hilton GPO hotels, and have seen astronomical growth in the past 24 months, including 340% in D2C alone. We have doubled our warehouse space in West Adams, in downtown Los Angeles, and are growing our B2B team and field-sales reps!

Certifications for organic period products are incredibly hard to attain. They require strict adherance to international standards, and that's why we went with the most difficult: GOTS. Consumers are desperately seeking better period products, we have them.

Tampon Tribe is the period company for today and the future. Organic, sustainable, and plastic-free, our products are sold via D2C subscription, B2B recurring corporate contracts, Amazon, and retail placements. We are in customers’ homes, workplaces, and leisure venues. A constant presence, Tampon Tribe is the go-to period brand - where and when we’re needed.

Tampon Tribe is the first and only U.S. company to exclusively offer certified organic, plastic-free, and sustainable period products.

As a tribe of active women with a passion for the planet, the team at Tampon Tribe designs products they use themselves, created with sustainable certified 100% organic materials that are good for all bodies!

Everything is put to the yoga/hiking/running/swim test, and packaged and positioned where active women shop.

Tampon Tribe’s line-up includes 100% ICEA- and GOTS-certified organic cotton tampons, pads, and liners, all of which are vegan, plastic-free, hypoallergenic, and compostable.

Our menstrual cups are silicone-free. They’re made with medical-grade TPEs, which warm the body for a perfect fit (they’re also recyclable!).

Ashers Period Undies are all crafted with the latest organic modal fabrics, which are super comfy, moisture-wicking, and free from PFAs!

Customers are actively seeking upgraded products in this space, and we are constantly iterating with the latest period tech and fabric innovations.

Period products are essential items. The period products market has continued to grow and maintain strength despite market fluctuations. There is now an increased awareness of, and demand for, safe and sustainable products, such at ours.

Through an omni-channel distribution strategy, Tampon Tribe is capitalizing on this momentum and we are everywhere that consumers are - exactly when they need us.

Subscriptions for consumers and multinational companies, retail partnerships (e-commerce and brick & mortar), and private-label contracts drive revenue.



Some of the world's most recognized companies and hospitality brands stock Tampon Tribe, and so do premium retailers like Erewhon and Laurel Supply! Their customers want the same thing ours do online: organic period products free from PFAS and the harsh processing found in many conventional brands.


We know that our customers are looking for safe, period products that are good for the planet and their bodies. Our customers are smart – they know that most of the pads and tampons on the shelves these days have bleaching chemicals that are harmful for their bodies. That's why they look for safe alternatives that they can feel good about using and discarding.


Gaby and Jen created Tampon Tribe as a movement to protect the Earth and women’s bodies – all while giving back to women in need. Hailing from Brazil and Australia respectively, they arrived in Los Angeles to find that there weren't too many period care brands and products that were sustainable, gender-inclusive, and reliable.

They realized that together they could create a business that met a demand (people wanting more organic, sustainable options) and allowed them to pursue something they were passionate about (accessible, environmentally period care).

Experienced lean entrepreneurs and growth marketers, Tampon Tribe’s team boasts a track record of success that includes founding and exiting companies, pivoting to stay ahead of market conditions, and leading sales to multi-million dollar exits. This puts the company in a winning position for fast-paced growth, as well as a strong exit.

Tech and Sports are now! Our partnerships with Angel City FC, LA Mad Drops, and HerSport, has uncovered a massive white space - performance.

We are putting the finishing touches on our Period Performance App with real-time AI period coaching, and our sports-specific performance wear.

Period Performance Gold-standard performance. Every day of the month.

Period Performance is the playbook her body's been waiting for: phase-smart training, fueling and recovery for her sport, game-day plans, and an instant AI coach who knows her body as well as she does. Phases 2 & 3 see intergrations with Apple Health, Whoop, Strava, etc. Coming soon...

We have an ultra-clear direction for Q4 and Q1-2, 2027. More than 80% of US companies have pledged to go plastic-free by 2028, and we are the ONLY plastic-free, certified-organic, and FDA-licensed period products company in the US. We are currently adding to our sales team to capitalize on this fantastic growth opportunity, and it will be our laser focus for the last quarter of the year.


Key Partnerships

We're in the game with the teams and communities shaping women's sport! Our multi-year partnership with Angel City FC puts Tampon Tribe in front of fans at one of the most valuable clubs in the NWSL, with co-branded performance apparel on the way. With the LA Mad Drops, we're courtside in pro pickleball, one of America's fastest-growing sports. And with HERSport Collective, we're helping female athletes, coaches and parents understand how the menstrual cycle affects training, recovery and nutrition. These partnerships give us real athletes, real stadiums and a real community, and they're the launchpad for Period Performance!


Partnering with CleanHub, we have doubled our plastic-free initiatives. Not only do we use zero plastics in all of our products and packaging, we double our impact by cleaning our oceans and waterways of the same amount of plastic waste.

We work with Green Worms, a fantastic women-led ecology start-up that employs local women in their efforts.


We wholeheartedly believe that companies should raise money only if they are 100% committed to delivering outstanding results and returns to each and every investor. To that end, our goal is to accelerate growth and prime Tampon Tribe for a strong exit.

We are currently in talks with three potential acquirers (under NDA), and we know the metrics that we need to deliver a strong return for our investors.

We have a clear path to $50M in ARR with strong B2B, D2C, and Retail combining with TikTok, a new affiiate army, and Performance Periods.

We are the ONLY company in the U.S. feminine hygiene space that has chosen not to raise insane amounts of money, which puts us in the perfect position as a realistic and attractive acquisition target. We know that nothing is certain, but as our track record shows, we will work tirelessly to ensure that you get the best return on your investment.

Use of Funds

With a fresh injection of capital, we can accelerate our growth. To ensure continued growth and sector dominance, we’ll use the capital raised to expand inventory, boost our B2B sales team, go nuts on TikTok, add rapid-scale marketing efforts, and build and solidify our Amazon presence. We will continue to develop key product lines to meet soaring demand. By supercharging our growth and sales engine, Tampon Tribe will further expand our sales and product offerings that lead to both new and recurring business revenue.

Valuation

We priced this round at a $20M and we set it fairly on purpose. So many of you have been with us since the early days, and we'd love for you to grow alongside us as Tampon Tribe takes its next big step.

You're the heart of this business, and we're so grateful for every one of you. We can't wait to have you with us for the rest of the journey.
