We hosted a Tech Ladies Talk Live event with Lizzy Palmer, a former UX researcher who made the leap into entrepreneurship. In this candid conversation, Lizzy walked us through her journey from working at Meta and Roblox to launching her own startup, Sync N—a fitness app designed to align with the female cycle.

From early user insights to teaching herself how to build an MVP, Lizzy shared real talk on the messy, exciting, and deeply personal process of building in the FemTech space. We covered everything from career pivots to team building, finding the right advisors, and what it’s really like to launch a consumer app in real time.

Whether you’re exploring a career change, curious about the startup world, or passionate about women’s health tech, this conversation is full of honest insights and practical advice.
