Name: Taylor Johnston | Business/Profession: Founder, NutraRX Inc.

Please share a little about your background, personally and/or professionally.

Hairstylist and entrepreneur for 22 years, shifted and went into tech two years ago.

Please share about your business, where it’s located, and what led you to starting it.

My son went into kidney failure suddenly, and I realized there was no great way to track anything going on with him and have it easily accessible to all of his caregivers.

What goals do you hope to achieve for your business during your time in VCWoman Achieve?

Connecting with other women founders and learning how to navigate starting a tech startup in a man’s world.

What drew you to being part of a mentorship group specifically curated for non-men? How has being a woman or non-binary individual impacted your journey as an entrepreneur?

This is a heavily male dominated space and being a woman has been interesting. It feels like I’m not taken seriously, therefore my business is not taken seriously when it could help millions of people.

What are three things you enjoy doing outside of work?

Being around my friends and family, crafting, and researching.

What is your favorite part about being an entrepreneur?

I always knew I was good at multi-tasking but starting a health tech startup is multi-tasking on overdrive! It’s fun and exciting and I love to learn about all of the things.
