Artificial womb transplants, 125% tariffs self-made intimacy tools workshop and accelerator spots open...
🛸 sextech jobs, events, news and investments

👋HEY ALL!
This week, there are so many events lighting up the sextech world across the globe. Honestly? This might be our longest events list yet.
If you're new to the industry, my number one piece of advice is simple:
Talk. To. People.
(Yes, really.)
From Austin Kleon's
One of the best ways to get started is by showing up—go to events, meet others in the field, and let those serendipitous convos shape your path. I swear by it. Back in 2014, I read Show Your Work by Austin Kleon and it cracked open everything for me—it was the spark that launched me into the world of sextech.
💥 If you’re in New York, don’t miss the thought-provoking Gender Matters 2025 convening at The New School. STS alum Merel Noorlander is leading a standout workshop, Queer Intimacy by Design (and yep, it's free to RSVP!).
We're also celebrating some groundbreaking developments this week; from the UK's historic first womb transplant birth to innovative digital therapies reshaping female sexual wellness disorders. And shaking our heads at the 125% tariff levied against China implemented by Trump this week.
And let’s be honest… our events + job board has been exploding lately. There’s opportunity everywhere.
Want to work with me directly? Our latest accelerator (coaching program) is open. Apply now and I’ll personally reach out. 🔗 Apply here
And if you haven’t tuned into the latest Future of Sex podcast episode… put this in your ears immediately.
