Early life and education

Tin was born and raised in Copenhagen, Denmark. She graduated from the Danish alternative business school, Kaospilot.[4][7]

Career

Prior to founding Clue, Tin ran a motorcycle tour company based in Denmark with her father.[4] She was with the company for five years and toured locations like Vietnam, the United States, Cuba, Chile, and Mongolia.[3] She later released a book about her experiences called Direktøs which became a Danish bestseller.[8]

In 2013, Tin co-founded the Clue app with Hans Raffauf, Moritz von Buttlar, and Mike LaVigne in Berlin, Germany.[9] Tin began formulating an idea for the app in 2009 as a way to track her own menstrual and fertility cycle.[2][10] In mid-2015, the app had around 1 million active users.[11] In October 2015, the company raised $7 million in a funding round led by Union Square Ventures and Mosaic Ventures, bringing the total amount of funding up to $10 million.[12]

By November of that year, the number of active users had risen to 2 million representing over 180 countries.[13] In late 2015, Tin worked with Apple to help them develop their own period tracking software for their HealthKit platform.[14] Also in 2015, Tin was named the Female Web Entrepreneur of the Year at the Slush Conference.[15]

In 2016, Tin was credited for coining the term "femtech" to refer to technology designed for women's health.[16] The term to referred to technology that addressed needs related to fertility, period-tracking, pregnancy, menopause and more.[5][6]

In September 2016, Tin spoke at the TechCrunch Disrupt event in San Francisco on the topic of analytics in women's health.[17][18] Two months later, Clue raised an additional $20 million in a funding round led by Nokia Growth Partners.[19][20] In 2016 and 2017, Tin helped introduce new features to the app, including cycle-sharing and pill-tracking.[21] In 2017, Tin announced that Clue was working on adding features to serve app users going through menopause.[22] By 2018, Clue had 10 million users in 190 countries.[21]
