About this opportunity

WomanKind, a San Diego nonprofit design collective, gives one early-stage women's health startup a free six-week brand design partnership, valued at $15,000 and donated by the branding agency Alfa Charlie. The winning company gets a full brand strategy, a new visual identity and key design assets, the same service the agency sells to paying clients. This round runs in January and February 2027 and is open to founders anywhere who can meet during US Pacific business hours.

What you get:

A six-week design partnership worth $15,000 in brand strategy and design support, fully covered by WomanKind
A six-hour brand strategy workshop covering core values, target audience, competitor analysis, positioning, strengths and brand personality
A full visual brand system: logo, colour palette, font suggestions, other visual elements and a Brand Compass Book
A final week of collateral design, such as a pitch deck or packaging
Three follow-up consultations to review how the brand is working
Applicants who are not selected keep access to free WomanKind office hours, and runners-up are occasionally offered a microgrant or strategy workshop

What you'll do:

Submit a written application about your company's mission, the gap in women's health it addresses and why you need a rebrand now
Take part in a 30-minute video call with the WomanKind team by mid-December
If selected, work with the design team over six weeks starting mid-January 2027
