About

Sequel is a San Francisco-based startup founded in 2018 by Greta Meyer and Amanda Calabrese, both former elite athletes and Stanford product design engineers. The company specializes in innovative women's health and wellness products, starting with the Sequel Spiral™ Tampon, a patented design that prevents leakage and represents a significant redesign of tampons in 80 years. The Spiral™ Tampon is engineered for reliability, comfort, and efficiency in absorbing menstrual fluid, addressing common issues like leaks and discomfort. It has received FDA approval as a medical device and is marketed as a performance-based, science-backed product aimed at helping women manage their periods effectively. Sequel focuses on direct-to-consumer sales, targeting menstruating individuals who seek better-performing period products. With a vision to elevate women's consumer products, Sequel plans to expand its offerings beyond tampons. The company has a small team of fewer than 25 employees and has raised approximately $5 million in funding to support its growth and innovation.
